var objXMLDOMNode = oXMLDOMNode.cloneNode(deep);
Remarks
Script Parameters

Boolean. Flag that indicates whether to recursively clone all nodes that are descendants of this node. If True, create a clone of the complete tree below this node. If False, clone this node and its attributes only.
Script Return Value
Object. Returns the newly created clone node.
C/C++ Syntax
Remarks
C/C++ Parameters
C/C++ Return Values
- S_OK

Value returned if cloneRoot is Null.
Requirements
| Header | msxml2.h, msxml2.idl |
| Library | uuid.lib |
| Windows Embedded CE | Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later |
General Remarks
The cloned node has the same property values as this node for the following properties: nodeName Property, nodeValue, nodeType, parentNode, ownerDocument, and, if it is an element, attributes. The value of the clone's childNodes depends on the setting of the deep flag parameter.
Note
If the node is the DOMDocument node, it is safer to clone the document using the save method, as follows. doc.save(doc2);
This method applies to the following objects and interfaces:
IXMLDOMAttribute, IXMLDOMCDATASection, IXMLDOMCharacterData, IXMLDOMComment, DOMDocument, IXMLDOMDocumentFragment, IXMLDOMDocumentType, IXMLDOMElement, IXMLDOMEntity, IXMLDOMEntityReference, IXMLDOMNode, IXMLDOMNotation, IXMLDOMProcessingInstruction, IXMLDOMText, and IXTLRuntime.
