clone bug

[anonymous]

The question is: when i clone some elements to append to a new node, i can not get the cloned elements through the selector; the code as: $("#b").append($("#a select").clone(true)); alert($(#b select).html());here, i can not get the new select.

jquery 1.6.1 and in ie9

Can you post a simplified usecase on jsFiddle? It's possible that your selector $("#a select") is malformed (does select have an id of "a"? or the container div?), resulting in no result coming back. If that were the case, you would be appending an empty jQuery result, giving no select.

Here's an example jsFiddle, showing the case working: ​http://jsfiddle.net/Z29NZ/
