Description
If you clone an element with a textarea in it and append this to another element, the value of the textarea is lost (or - if in the html a value for the textarea was set - the default value is set).
I found this behaviour only in firefox. I've attached a file with an example (and a dirty workaround I used).

I have the same problem :-( Currently using a really ugly workaround...
I don't know too much about Trac, but maybe this bug report does not show up anymore, since it is assigned to Milestone 1.3. But I have no rights to change that...

- Keywords firefox textarea value added; firefox, textarea, value, removed
- Priority changed from major to low
- Version changed from 1.2.6 to 1.4.3
- Status changed from new to open
- Milestone 1.4.3 deleted
Safari and Chrome both do the same thing as Firefox here and clone the state of the element without any value changes. Opera and IE clone current state of the control, including any value changes. Fun…

This is similar to #1736 (if not an outright dup) and seems equally difficult to fix in a general way. If someone needs the partial input typed by a user at the point of cloning it would make more sense to copy over the .value at that point. If someone has a better idea let us know.

Bug still exists in jQuery 1.6.2
Maybe this would be a solution? https://github.com/spencertipping/jquery.fix.textarea-clone
