jqueryHow do I copy an element using jQuery?

The jQuery .clone() method allows you to copy an element and its contents. The syntax for the method is as follows:

$(selector).clone(true);

The true argument indicates that the event handlers and data associated with the element should be copied as well.

For example, to clone a <div> element with the id example:

var clonedDiv = $('#example').clone(true);

This will create a copy of the <div> element with all of its associated event handlers and data.

The parts of the code are as follows:

• $('#example'): This is a jQuery selector that selects the element with the id example.
• .clone(true): This is the jQuery clone method that will copy the element and its contents.
• var clonedDiv: This is the variable that will store the cloned element.
