[SOLVED] clone without inside element

[SOLVED] clone without inside element

hey dudes,

any idea how to clone an element, and exclude any contained elements, but include container CDATA

i.e. clone this:
<h1 class="cloneme"><a href="#">foo</a></h1>


and end up with this:
<h1 class="cloneme">foo</h1>


any pointers would be great

thanks heaps.
