The Range.cloneRange() method returns a Range object with boundary points identical to the cloned Range.
The returned clone is copied by value, not reference, so a change in either Range does not affect the other.
Syntax
clone = range.cloneRange();
Example
range = document.createRange();
range.selectNode(document.getElementsByTagName("div").item(0));
clone = range.cloneRange();
