1.6

Cloned sections have the same properties as normal sections, but they cannot call section
functions.
Note
Due to resource constraints, the number of clones that can be created is limited to around 20. This is
a rough estimate. If the template is simple and the number of clones that has to be made is the same
for each record, up to 60 clones may be created.
Renaming a clone
By default, clones receive the name of their source section with a "Clone {sequence}" suffix, for
example:
Source: "Section 1"
Clone Name: "Section 1 Clone 1"
Use thename property to assign the cloned section another name, for example:
clone.name = "my_section_clone";
Note that section names must be unique.
Targeting elements in a cloned section
As each clone receives a unique section name, one could use CSS style sheets (see "Styling
and formatting" on page168) and personalization scripts (see "Variable Data" on page209 and
"Writing your own scripts" on page221) to further personalize the cloned sections.
The following CSS style rules target the <h1> element in a number of clones and assigns the
respective text a different color:
[section="my_section_clone_0"] h1 { color: red; }
[section="my_section_clone_1"] h1 { color: green; }
[section="my_section_clone_2"] h1 { color: blue; }
The same selectors could be used in personalization scripts:
Selector: [section="my_section_clone_0"] h1
Script: results.css('color','red');
