Not sure, but it might be that the .html() part is telling the clone function to just clone the html *within* .hook:first.
What happens if you leave off the .html() part?

I am having an issue with cloning a form. When I clone an existing form, only the input tags are cloned. Here is an example" -- HTML <form class="hook" action="do/something" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="text" name="variable"> <input type="submit"> </form> <div id="clonehere"></div> -- JQuery $('#clonehere').append($('.hook:first').clone(true).html()); -- Result #clonehere will only get this part of the form <input type="text" name="variable"> <input type="submit"> What am I doing wrong?
