The outcome of cloneNode(deep)
and removeNode(deep)
depends on the deep value. When deep
is true,
the cloneNode
method clones a complete subtree rooted at the specified node. When deep
is false,
only the specified node is duplicated, having no children at all. Similarly, when
deep
is true,
the removeNode
method removes a complete subtree rooted at the specified node. When deep
is false,
just the specified node is removed and all its children become children of their
former father's father (former grandfather).
