You could do something like this:

var i = 1;
$("button").click(function() ​​​{
  $("table tr:first").clone().find("input").each(function() {
    $(this).val('').attr('id', function(_, id) { return id + i });
  }).end().appendTo("table");
  i++;
})​;​

This would empty the values for new rows and give them unique IDs starting with txtTitle1, txtTile2, etc.

You ca give it a try here. If you needed to change the name too I'd pass an object to .attr() to keep it a bit cleaner, like this:

var i = 1;
$("button").click(function() {
  $("table tr:first").clone().find("input").each(function() {
    $(this).attr({
      'id': function(_, id) { return id + i },
      'name': function(_, name) { return name + i },
      'value': ''               
    });
  }).end().appendTo("table");
  i++;
});​

You can try that version out here.
