Is there a quick way to clone a <tr> element without its content in cells? Basically to have a pure <tr> element having only the same structure as the original?

• Do you mean a deep clone or a shallow one? – Frédéric Hamidi Commented Jun 1, 2011 at 8:41
• By deep clone, you mean all the child elements within table cells? – pencilCake Commented Jun 1, 2011 at 8:43

If you want a deep clone of the element without the text content, you can write something like:

var $cloned = $("tr").clone().children().text("").end();
