text() is really meant to retrieve text content as a string, and
append() is for appending elements, it's probably going through a lot
more hoops than just using text().
So it looks like the first way is the best way to do it, enjoy the
beauty of jQuery: extend it!
$.fn.textCopy = function(source) { // copy FROM
return this.each(function(){
$(this).text( $(source).text() );
});
};
or
$.fn.textReplace = function(source) { // copy TO
return this.each(function(){
$(source).text( $(this).text() );
});
};
