jQuery Clone table row

Your problem is that your insertAfter:

.insertAfter(".tr_clone")

inserts after every .tr_clone:

the matched set of elements will be inserted after the element(s) specified by this parameter.

You probably just want to use after on the row you’re duplicating. And a little .find(':text').val('') will clear the cloned text inputs; something like this:

var $tr    = $(this).closest('.tr_clone');
var $clone = $tr.clone();
$clone.find(':text').val('');
$tr.after($clone);

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/ambiguous/LAECx/ or for a modern jQuery: http://jsfiddle.net/ambiguous/LAECx/3274/

I’m not sure which input should end up with the focus so I’ve left that alone.
