I'm cloning a textarea in a page but the cloned element doesn't have any event of the primary element, is there any way to clone all events in cloned element?
var dupNode = node.cloneNode(deep);

You can maybe use getEventListeners
on nodes? Don't know how the support is, or if it's only supported in the console?
function cloneMassive(node) {
// Clone the node, don't clone the childNodes right now...
var dupNode = node.cloneNode(false);
var events = getEventListeners(node);
for(var p in events) {
// All events is in an array so iterate that array:
events[p].forEach(function(ev) {
// {listener: Function, useCapture: Boolean}
dupNode.addEventListener(p, ev.listener, ev.useCapture);
});
}
// Also do the same to all childNodes and append them.
if (node.childNodes.length) {
[].slice.call(node.childNodes).forEach(function(node) {
dupNode.appendChild(cloneMassive(node));
});
}
return dupNode;
}
var dupBody = cloneMassive(document.body);
But it seems that getEventListeners
isn't really supported:
Get event listeners attached to node using addEventListener
If you need to copy all event properties on the node as well you will need a list of all, and then simply copy them over:
['onclick', 'onmouseover', '...'].forEach(function(method) {
dupNode[method] = node[method];
});
I was solving this problem lately and even that this is old post, just in case somebody is trying to find out, i add my solution :
var button = document.createElement("i");
var click = document.createAttribute("onclick");
click.value = "FunctionName(this)";
button.attributes.setNamedItem(click);
Instead of using addEventListener
, just create function FunctionName
. Well this is useless if you are extending objects that use addEventListener
