    Thxs Ash. I too am just learning jQuery and finding it hard to figure out the best way, especially simple things. The reason they are as 2 questions is because I posted one and then almost an hour later I realized I should have put the other one in and didn't think I should change the first.

    FYI - Avoid using multiple appends (slows down performance tremendously), rather build up your string or use JavaScript join which is much faster. Commented Apr 16, 2010 at 9:32

    Just in case if row is too complex, what I do is, keep first row hidden with required structure, make a clone and modify text and insert after first row, this way if you fetch data from ajax response your table will be created, remember clone it outside the loop, then use it to modify content inside loop. $("#mainTable tbody").append(row); row is the modified clone copy :) Commented May 16, 2018 at 12:00
