Hi Erik,
I am cloning a DIV container full of elements( selects, inputs and
buttons), they all inherit the name of the original element, but to
differentiate between all, I want to rename all the clones attributes
sequentially, example
<div name= "container">
<input name="color">
<input name="house">
</dv>
if I clone the whole container, the names should be:
<div name= "container">
<input name="color">
<input name="house">
</dv>
<div name= "container1">
<input name="color1">
<input name="house1">
</dv>
ans so forth
Thanks
