Essentially, there is no way to do what you are trying to do. What other developers do is loop around all of the object's properties and copy them to the new object.

But I can figure out how to make a true copy of DOM object with JavaScript, instead of just a copy of the pointer to the object. For Example: protoRow = (document.getElementById("One")); I would like protoRow to be a true deep copy of the current state of row "One", that I can use later on to create new rows, even though by that time the state of row one will have change significantly. This obviously only creates a copy of the pointer to row "One" and any new rows made with this will have the current properties of row "One" what ever they happen to be at the time.
