var NewObjXMLDOMSelection = objXMLDOMSelection.clone();

Example

//Create a DOMDocument2 object and load some XML:
xmldoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0");
xmldoc.loadXML("<root><elem1>foo</elem1><elem2>bar</elem2></root>");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
   var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
   alert("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
   //Create an XMLDOMSelection object from selected nodes:
   xpath = xmldoc.selectNodes("root/elem1");
   //Cache the XPath expression and context:
   xpath.expr = "root/elem1";
   xpath.context = xmldoc;

   //Clone the XMLDOMSelection object
   xpath2 = xpath.clone();
   temp1 = xpath.peekNode();  // temp1 == <elem1/>
   temp2 = xpath2.peekNode();  // temp2 == <elem1/> Note the position and
   // context are maintained.
