In the Jquery example below, I would like to expand $(this) before it is cloned, so it includes everything contained in the parent class "comment". How do I do this? I've tried using ReplaceWith($(this).parent('.comment').clone()... and it does not work!

$(document).ready(

function(){ 

$('.forumthreadtitle').siblings().hide(); 
$('.forumthreadtitle').click( function() {
$('#first-post').replaceWith($(this).clone().attr('id','first-post'));

});
