XML.cloneNode

XML.clonenode, clodenode

Availability

Flash Player 5.

Usage

`myXML``.cloneNode(``deep``)`

Parameters

`deep` Boolean value specifying whether the children of the specified XML object are recursively cloned.

Returns

An XML node.

Description

Method; constructs and returns a new XML node of the same type, name, value, and attributes as the specified XML object. If `deep` is set to `true`, all child nodes are recursively cloned, resulting in an exact copy of the original object's document tree.

The clone of the node that is returned is no longer associated with the tree of the cloned item. Consequently, nextSibling, parentNode, and previousSibling all have a value of `null`. If a clip copy is not performed, firstChild and lastChild are also `null`.
