[jQuery] Re: clone does copy the accesskey attribute

Hi,
When I clone an element that has an accesskey, it's copied to the
cloned element as well.

Then you end up with two different elements having the same accesskey.
Obvioulsy no good.

Do I have to call .removeAttr('accesskey') method on each cloned node
or is there a better way ?

Thanks in advance,

Xavier

I think it is probably too much overhead to add a list of undesired 
attributes that won't cloned to include in jQuery. Similiar problems 
occur for elements with an id that get cloned.

You could write your own little helper:

jQuery.fn.cleanClone = function(deep) {
    return this
        .clone(deep)
        .removeAttr('accesskey')
        .removeAttr('id');
        // add more attributes...
};

Use instead clone:

$('[EMAIL PROTECTED]').cleanClone().appendTo('body');
