title: Clone an Element Using jQuery
challengeType: 6
forumTopicId: 16780
---
## 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>.

## Tests

```yml
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));
```
