Range: cloneRange() method
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since March 2017.
The Range.cloneRange() method returns a
Range object with boundary points identical to the cloned
Range.
The returned clone is copied by value, not reference, so a change in either
Range does not affect the other.
Syntax
js
cloneRange()
Parameters
None.
Return value
A Range object.
Examples
js
const range = document.createRange();
range.selectNode(document.getElementsByTagName("div").item(0));
const clone = range.cloneRange();
