Rails spinoffs - Dec 2007 - Copy an element and insert it.

I am switching from using Mootools to just Prototype, because I
couldn''t get Mootools ajax and TinyMCE to play together.

I want to copy an element, change one of the attributes of an element
inside of IT, and then insert it under the first element. (Making a
form where you click to add another field)

This is what I got so far for the JS:
$(''addAlbum'').observe(''click'', function(){
    var p = $(''albumDiv'').firstDescendant();
   
$(''albumDiv'').update($(''albumDiv'').innerHTML+p.innerHTML);
});

Where addAlbum is the button you click to add one, albumDiv is the div
with the label and input in it.
How would I go about getting the input element, changing it''s name and
ID, and inserting it? Is there a better way than what I have started?

Thanks for help!

How about:

        $(''addAlbum'').observe(''click'',
function(){
                var p = $(''albumDiv'').firstDescendant();
                var albumNew = p.cloneNode(false);
                $(albumNew).writeAttribute({id: ''newid'', name:
''newname''}).update(''Album Two'');
                $(''albumDiv'').insert(albumNew);
                });
