  There is no way to do this in DOM Level 1. You have to create
your own function :
Node copyNode(Document dstDoc, Node n)
{
  switch (n.nodeType) {
  case n.ELEMENT_NODE:
      newElement = doc.createElement(n.tagName);
      for (i = 0; i < n.attributes.length; i++) {
         newElement.setAttributeNode(importNode(n.attributes.item(i)));
      }
      for (i = 0; i < n.childNodes.length; i++) {
         newElement.appendChild(importNode(n.childNodes.item(i)));
      }
      return newElement;
  // and so on ...
  }
}

  This function already exists in DOM Level 2:
