Thanks for the reply Brian,
I tried your way but didn work.
I looked at the docs again and it says it should be like this
jQuery(item_content).filter("#contentpane .contentpane > p, :first");
But unfortunately this also did not work.
As for th cloning of node, Well I am novice to javascript and have
never used it before, infact don't know how to use this function.
Thanks again. Please do write if you have any more suggestions.
