bad87fee1348bd9aed508826	Clone an Element Using jQuery	6	16780

Description

In addition to moving elements, you can also copy them from one place to another. jQuery has a function called clone() that makes a copy of an element. For example, if we wanted to copy target2 from our left-well to our right-well, we would use: $("#target2").clone().appendTo("#right-well"); Did you notice this involves sticking two jQuery functions together? This is called function chaining and it's a convenient way to get things done with jQuery. Clone your target5 element and append it to your left-well.

Instructions

Tests

tests:
  - text: Your <code>target5</code> element should be inside your <code>right-well</code>.
    testString: assert($("#right-well").children("#target5").length > 0);
  - text: A copy of your <code>target5</code> element should also be inside your <code>left-well</code>.
    testString: assert($("#left-well").children("#target5").length > 0);
  - text: Only use jQuery to move these elements.
    testString: assert(!code.match(/class.*animated/g));
