form

I need to copy a form information with all types of elements and send it with AJAX.

Tried these: 1. cloneNode on the form. - Doesn't work with IE, only copies text stuff properly.

cloneNode on each element.
- Doesn't work with IE, only copies text stuff properly.
Making new textareas for each element, and copying the value in.
- Doesn't work for textareas in IE, formatting is lost.

I imagine a combination of those 3 would work for IE and FF but is there any decent solution to this? Shortness of code is a priority.
