I have the following html

<div id="list_item_template"><li><a href="#">Text</a></li></div>

and javascript:

var item = $("#list_item_template").clone();

What I want to do is access the inner <a> tag of the cloned copy and add an attribute. Without cloning I would just do:

$("#list_item_template a").attr("onclick", "SomeFunction()");

However, I need to perform that operation on the cloned copy, not on the html currently on the page. How would I do this?
