From the html you provided, this gets the last ID. // The match should return an array with the current id in the 0 // position. The "+" sign in front converts this ID to a number. var currentID = + $(clonedRow).find('input').attr('id').match( /\d+/ )[0]; var newID = currentID + 1; The problem is that clone() does not work right in Internet Exploder. There's a patch due, but no advance yet. So, the solution works on FF, but not on IE. (http://www.fusioncube.net/?p=196) In fact, the method above needs filter() to work on IE. // Solution for IE. var currentID = + $(clonedRow).filter('input').attr('id').match( /\d+/ )[0]; var newID = currentID + 1; : function duplicateRow(){ [snip] Manipulating the html directly probably isn't the most jQuery-ish way to handle this. $(clonedRow).find( '#bc' + currentID ).eq(0).attr({ id: 'bc' + newID, name: 'correctans' + newID }); $(clonedRow).find( '#theans' + currentID ).eq(0).attr({ id: 'theans' + newID, name: 'answer' + newID }); $(clonedRow).find( '#fb' + currentID ).eq(0).attr({ id: 'fb' + newID, name: 'feedback' + newID }); // Add to the new row to the original table $( "#myTable").append( clonedRow ); So, for now, you may need another solution besides clone().
