Cloned Select Menu

This is handy when making dynamic forms. Will reproduce and return a duplicate of an existing select menu. Just pass the id of the select you wish to clone.


function cloneSelect(objid)
{
var sel=document.createElement('select');
obj=document.getElementById(objid);
var len=obj.childNodes.length;
for(var i=0;i<len;i++)
{
if(obj.childNodes.item(i).text)
{
var opt=document.createElement("option");
opt.value=obj.childNodes.item(i).value;
str=document.createTextNode(obj.childNodes.item(i).text);
opt.appendChild(str);
sel.appendChild(opt);
}
}
return sel;
}
