How to clone a <tr> element without data, but only structure using jQuery?

Question

Is there a quick way to clone a <tr> element without its contents in cells? Basically, have a pure <tr> element having only the same structure as the original?

Answer 1

If you need a deep clone of an element without textual content, you can write something like:

 var $cloned = $("tr").clone().children().text("").end();
