The following fragment fails to clone the text of textnode. document.writeln(divnode.id); document.writeln(textnode.data); cloneddiv=divnode.cloneNode(false); clonedtext=textnode.cloneNode(false); document.writeln(cloneddiv.id); document.writeln(clonedtext.data); If divnode refers to a div whose id is divnode1, and textnode has contents(data) of textnode1, it prints out(correcting for document.writeline bug 1668: divnode1 textnode1 divnode1 but fails to print out a second textnode1, indicating a failure to copy the data of a text node. Note that document.writeln(clonedtext) does produce: [object Text] indicating that the clone operation didn't fail completely. Also this behavior is not affected by doing cloneNode(true) instead of cloneNode(false) to indicate a recursive clone. I haven't tested the success or lack thereof of cloned descendents in a cloneNode(true) scenario.

Fixed on 1/5/1999.
