Generate Unique Name and ID based on table's first row

The code below will generate unique name and id based on table's first row, paste it before </body>

$(document).ready(function () {
    var rows = $("table tbody tr");
    rows.each(function (i) {
        var inputs = $(this).find('input');
        i++;
        inputs.eq(0).attr('id', 'txtTitle'+i )
            .attr('name', 'txtTitle'+i );
        inputs.eq(1).attr('id', 'txtLink'+i )
            .attr('name', 'txtLink'+i );
    });
});

Let's say for example you have this line of code in HTML:
<table id="matt">
    <tbody>
<tr>
        <td><input id="txtTitle" name="txtTitle" type="text" value="title" /></td>
        <td><input id="txtLink" name="txtLink" type="text" value="link" /></td>
    </tr>
<tr>
        <td><input type="text" /></td>
        <td><input type="text" /></td>
    </tr>
<tr>
        <td><input type="text" /></td>
        <td><input type="text" /></td>
    </tr>
</tbody>
</table>

As the form loads, the 2nd row and 3rd row "input" tag will have a name and id elements with unique names. Here's the demo showing it.


Configuration:

If you want to be more specific, use the ID of the table. Just change this line:
var rows = $("table tbody tr")
to
var rows = $("table#YOURTABLEIDHERE tbody tr")
and the 'input' on the code is your target in which the name and id will be generated.
