Tables are a little brittle... It is more stable to replace the entire table instead of changing part of it. – Guffa Sep 15 '09 at 05:08

Here's a better way :

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

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>");`

Almost, the double quotes within double quotes will throw the JavaScript engine off. – David Andres Sep 15 '09 at 04:06

and make sure you escape the quotes... i forgot :-/ – Sudhir Jonathan Sep 15 '09 at 04:06
