Over on eGullet, there is a thread about corn syrup substitutions. A lot of people are trying to cut back on the use of corn syrup, so this seemed like a good thing to research.
On the eGullet thread, agave nectar is a popular choice. Agave nectar isn't something that most people have lying around, though, and it isn't as dirt-cheap as corn syrup.
Is there another option?
Sure.
This recipe appears popular on the Internet:
2 c. white sugar
3/4 c. water
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
Dash of salt
