Clone does indeed make a copy of the element(s) but it returns them as a jQuery array just like most of the other jQuery methods. If it is the html you want then you counld try something like var hex = $ ("<div></div>").append( $("#d").clone() ).html() That copies your #d element into a new element then returns the html from inside the new element.
