Dynamically add and remove TextBoxes and get value of dynamic TextBox using jQuery

Question

I have a problem. The code below is for adding and removing textbox dymically through .append() and .remove(). I want all the data inside the textboxes with a placeholder of textbox will be imploded and will be placed in the textbox I set with name of textbox. Also the ones with the placeholder of box will be placed in the allotted textbox for it. How to do that?

Here's my code:

HTML

<form class="form-horizontal" method= "Post">
    <div class="control-group">
        <div class="inc">
            <div class="controls">
                <input type="text" class="form-control" name="textbox" placeholder="textbox"/> 
                <input type="text" class="form-control" name="text" placeholder="text"/>
                <button style="margin-left: 50px" class="btn btn-info" type="submit" id="append" name="append">
                Add Textbox</button>
                <br>
                <br>
            </div>
        </div>
        <input type="submit" class="btn btn-info" name="submit" value="submit"/> 
        <input type="text" class="form-control" name="textbox" placeholder="texbox"/> 
    <input type="text" class="form-control" name="text" placeholder="text"/>
    </div>
</form>

JavasScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).ready( function () {
        $("#append").click( function() {
        $(".inc").append('
            <div class="controls">
                <input class="form-control" type="text" name="textbox" placeholder="textbox">
                <input class="form-control" type="text" name="text" placeholder="text">
                <a href="#" class="remove_this btn btn-danger">remove</a>
                <br>
                <br>
            </div>');
        return false;
        });

    jQuery('.remove_this').live('click', function() {
        jQuery(this).parent().remove();
        return false;
        });
    });
</script>

jQuery(document).ready( function () {
        $("#append").click( function(e) {
          e.preventDefault();
        $(".inc").append('<div class="controls">\
                <input class="form-control" type="text" name="textbox" placeholder="textbox">\

                <br>\
            </div>');
        return false;
        });

    jQuery(document).on('click', '.remove_this', function() {
        jQuery(this).parent().remove();
        return false;
        });
    $("input[type=submit]").click(function(e) {
      e.preventDefault();
      $(this).next("[name=textbox]")
      .val(
        $.map($(".inc :text"), function(el) {
          return el.value
        }).join(",\n")
      )
    })
  });

i want to place all the values the textbox with the placeholder of 'text' be separated from the the values of the textboxes with placeholder 'textbox' and place it inside the textbox near the textbox where all values from the textboxes with the placeholder of textbox.

This is excellent and worked wonderfully - but when i add a label between the input text fields, the "remove feature only removes the "text" field instead of the entire "textbox" & "text" field
