how to clone content of a div to another div

Question

I want to copy the content of a selected div to another div with jquery clone. but I dont want to append it anywhere

what I mean is when we make a clone of a div with j

Answer 1

I don't agree. Clone can save data without applying to the content.

Look here:

var mylayer=$('.hello').clone();

Here you can manage the variable "mylayer" as you want, and it's not in the DOM.
