Question

how to clone content of a div to another div

Answer 1

+3 A:

var a = $('#selector').html();
var b = $('#selector').html(a);

not sure I understood you properly but I think thats what you meant :)

This could also be written: `$('#selectorDestination').html($('#selectorSource').html());`. Avoiding declaring variables.

Only thing we should be cautious is we shouldn't dupliate the ids in the html

@dustin yes thats the same thing but i thought since he asked not to put on the dom "i don't want to append it anywhere" :) thats the best way forward

Val 2010-10-23 06:03:35

@val thanx for it , that's what i need.

Answer 2

A:

I don't agree. Clone can save data without applying to the content.

Look here:

http://www.jsfiddle.net/dactivo/FqffM/

var mylayer=$('.hello').clone();

Here you can manage the variable "mylayer" as you want, and it's not in the DOM.

anyway val's method is simple and I think it suits me

pahnin 2010-10-23 09:34:52

Of course, html() is a great method but it's good to know that clone() can be managed without including in the DOM

netadictos 2010-10-23 10:44:11

`Clone` also copies the container element, which I do not think the @pahnin wants.

Dustin Laine 2010-10-23 15:40:32

yes thats the problm i faced

pahnin 2010-10-23 16:33:46

Ok, I thought the real problem was you didn't want to set its position. html() is great for this.
