Edit Question
Title
Body
This is related to the question javascript cloneNode and properties . I'm seeing the same behaviour. Node.cloneNode does not copy over any properties that I add myself (code from original post): var theSource = document.getElementById("someDiv") theSource.dictator = "stalin"; var theClone = theSource.cloneNode(true); alert(theClone.dictator); theClone does not contain any property "dictator". I haven't been able to find any explanation for why this is the case. The documentation on MDN states that cloneNode "copies all of its attributes and their values", a line which is taken directly from the DOM specification itself. This seems broken to me as it makes it next to impossible to do a deep copy of a DOM tree that contains custom properties. Am I missing something here?
