title: Clone an Element Using jQuery
challengeType: 6
---
## Description
< section id = 'description' >
In addition to moving elements, you can also copy them from one place to another.
jQuery has a function called < code > clone()< / code > that makes a copy of an element.
For example, if we wanted to copy < code > target2< / code > from our < code > left-well< / code > to our < code > right-well< / code > , we would use:
< code > $("#target2").clone().appendTo("#right-well");< / code >
Did you notice this involves sticking two jQuery functions together? This is called < code > function chaining< / code > and it's a convenient way to get things done with jQuery.
Clone your < code > target5< / code > element and append it to your < code > left-well< / code > .
