{{ APIRef("DOM") }}

The Range.cloneRange() method returns a {{domxref("Range")}} object with boundary points identical to the cloned {{domxref("Range")}}.

The returned clone is copied by value, not reference, so a change in either {{domxref("Range")}} does not affect the other.

Syntax

js-nolint
cloneRange()

Parameters

None.

Return value

A {{domxref("Range")}} object.

Examples

js
const range = document.createRange();
range.selectNode(document.getElementsByTagName("div").item(0));
const clone = range.cloneRange();
