I have an HTML element with a large collection of unordered lists contained within it. I need to clone this element to place elsewhere on the page with different styles adde

Answer 1

FWIW, I used Dario's function, but needed to catch form labels as well.

Add another if statement like this to do so:

if(element.htmlFor){
var matches = element.htmlFor.match(/(.+)_\d+/);
if(matches && matches.length >= 2)            // Captures start at [1].
  element.htmlFor = matches[1] + "_" + cur_num;
}
