Description

when i clone one or more selected <option> from one <select> to another there are differences between IE and firefox.

in IE the cloned element (in the second <select>) stays selected. in firefox the cloned element is not selected.

so which one is correct?

the code:

$('#myselect option:selected').clone().appendTo($('#myselect2'));

This is probably related to #2941 but isn't the same issue.

This was at one time in core but was removed due to the large performance overhead for such an edge case. I'm not convinced that the values should be cloned with the form elements. To really make it work cross browser you'd have to change the name attributes and ids as well. I remember having issues with radio buttons in Opera where even though it was in a different form only one could be checked. Either the original or the clone.
