JavaScript & copy style

Question

I am copying a table cell with javascript.

It works fine, just that it doesn\'t copy the style. I wanted to copy like below, but that didn\'t work. newCell.style=old

Answer 1

You can copy a DOM Element with all its content (including attributes) with .cloneNode(true) :

var clonedTr = document.getElementById('id').cloneNode(true);

Then clonedTr is an exact copy of the tr #id. The "true" means you want to copy the content of the element.
