Im trying to change all the input name based on the list index of <li>
But it seems like it's not changing at all.

$('.test').click(function() {
for(var i=0;i<$("li.songs").length;i++)
{
  var ob = $("li.songs").eq(i).clone();
  ob.find('input').each(function()
  {
    this.name = this.name+i;
    alert(this.name); //just checking if does it change
  });		
}
});

now, the alert displays the right name i want, BUT no changes on the name when I inspect the element AND try to submit the form and display all the POST values. Any help ??

example expected output:
[Before changing]
<li class="songs"><input type="text" name="song" /></li>
<li class="songs"><input type="text" name="song" /></li>
<li class="songs"><input type="text" name="song" /></li>

[After Changing]
<li class="songs"><input type="text" name="song1" /></li>
<li class="songs"><input type="text" name="song2" /></li>
<li class="songs"><input type="text" name="song3" /></li>


NOTE:!!
I DONT WANT THE input named song to be an ARRAY. just telling you from the start.. XD

Why don't you just do:

$('input[name="song"]').each(function(index) {
    this.name = this.name + (index + 1);
});

Untested, but should work fine.

We have a jQuery subforum, so in the future post jQuery-related questions there.

Sorry, just got confused with the category. Still, jquery is a javascript right ??

works for me! But what if you just added a row with Jquery?

JQuery is a Javascript library. Some people may not be using it and it only serves to clutter the forum if we don't keep threads where they, theoretically, should be.
