title: jQuery append already appended html to div
body: <p>I have some HTML appended which has a timer that constantly changes, but I need that timer in another div. Both timers ofcourse must update simultaneosly.</p>
  
  <p>I have picture here below to show you the better example.</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/AD7uE.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>What I have tried so far is this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var time = $('.flashCurrent').html();
  $('.thetime').append(time);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That doesnt insert anything from .flashCurrent.</p>
  
  <p>The code in the script that appends this is this code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>elements.current = $("&lt;div class=\"flashCurrent\"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;").appendTo(elements.control); // Current elapsed time
  </code></pre>
