You can use the ID as it is, no need to change it. From your latter comment above, it almost sounds like you're trying to append multiple copies of an input box that all have the same ID to the document, and then find the last of those. Apologies if I'm misunderstanding that, but if that's what you're trying to do, you can't -- the ID of an element must be unique within the document.[1] Names can be non- unique, but IDs must be unique. So if you have this markup for the input box: <input type='text' id='mythingy' size='10' /> You can only append that to the document *once*, because IDs must be unique.
