How do you append rows to a table using jQuery?

Question

Hi I was trying to add a row to a table using jQuery, but it is not working.
What might be the reason?

And, can I put in some value to the newly added row..?

Answer 1

You should append to the table and not the rows.

<script type="text/javascript">
$('a').click(function() {
    $('#myTable').append('<tr class="child"><td>blahblah<\/td></tr>');
});
</script>
