How to add a <tbody> to a specified <table > with jQuery?

Question

I want to add the tbody below:

<tbody id="contact">
    ...
</tbody>

to a specified table:

<table id="target">
...
</table>

Solution 1

Ripped off the jQuery docs, you can use

$("p").append("<strong>Hello</strong>");

So in your case it'll be

$('#target').append("<tbody id=\"contact\">...</tbody>");

Solution 2

Here's a better way :

$("#your_table_id > tbody ").append(yourhtml);

Solution 3

var tbody = "<tbody id='contact' />";

$("#target").append(tbody);

Almost, the double quotes within double quotes will throw the JavaScript engine off.

and make sure you escape the quotes... i forgot :-/
