When inserting an element with the html method can I keep the original in the DOM?
<p>I found a strange thing. When I insert an element into another with the jQuery <code>html()</code> method, the first element is removed from DOM. I want to know if it is possible to insert an element and keep it in DOM.</p>

<p>Here is <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/aqueE/" rel="nofollow">an example</a>:</p>

<pre><code>$(document).ready(function(){
    select1 = $("#select-1");
    select2 = $("#select-2");
    $("#gap").html(select2); //Original select2 removed from DOM
});
</code></pre>

<p>As you can see the <code>#select-2</code> element is no longer visible if it is inserted into another element. But I want to insert it, and keep the priginal element as before.</p>
