    var ret, cur;
    ret = $(this).clone(val1, val2);
    cur = $(this);

    // copy all value of textarea
    ret.find('textarea').each(function() {
        var value_baru;

        // use name attribute as unique id
        value_baru = sek.find('[name="$name"]'.replace('$name', $(this).attr('name')))
                        .val();

        // set the new value to the textarea
        $(this).val(value_baru);
    });

    // return val
    return ret;
}
