Range: cloneRange() method

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since March 2017.

The returned clone is copied by value, not reference, so a change in either
Range
does not affect the other.

Parameters

Return value
A Range
object.
Examples

const range = document.createRange();
range.selectNode(document.getElementsByTagName("div").item(0));
