Unicode and html entities would be the best cross platform solution:-

This seems to work only on Firefox. No IE, Opera, Safari.

Gareth, if you had to encode it so that it would work on most browsers, what code would you use?

Can you pls provide the hackvertor tags for this ?

Your eval/uneval idea inspired me a cross-browser solution for those using YUI:

function clone = function( obj ) {
return YAHOO.lang.JSON.parse( YAHOO.lang.JSON.stringify( obj ) );
}

Tested fine with IE6 and FF2. Especially convenient for cloning arrays, hashs of arrays, arrays of hashs, etc.

Not sure about the performances. Might slow down your app if used to massively clone objects…

very nice. i think i like that last one the best. it continues to amaze me how many different ways you can write Javascript and still get it to work.

This does work with print() also.
