Can I use Jquery to insert a closing tag and an opening tag inside a dynamic table?

Question

I\'m trying to use the code below to dynamically add closing tag followed by opening so that i creates a new row every three cells. Almost working, DOM inspector shows a T

Answer 1

Another approach is to detach all the td elements, and then split them into groups of 3 using splice:

var td = $('tr td').detach();
$('tr').remove();
while(td.length>0){ 
 $(td.splice(0,3)).wrapAll('').parent().appendTo('tbody');   
}
