An example with a little less stringified html   var container       my-container      table       lt table gt      users forEach function user      var tr       lt tr gt         ID    Name    Address   forEach function attr        tr append   lt td gt     user attr      lt  td gt             table append tr        container append table

I understand you want to create stuff dynamically  That does not mean you have to actually construct DOM elements to do it  You can just make use of html to achieve what you want    Look at the code below    HTML    lt table border  0  cellpadding  0  width  100   id  providersFormElementsTable  gt  lt  table gt    JS    createFormElement  Nickname   nickname    function createFormElement labelText  id         providersFormElementsTable   html   lt tr gt  lt td gt Nickname lt  td gt  lt td gt  lt input type  text  id    id    name  nickname  gt  lt  td gt  lt lable id    labelText    gt  lt  lable gt  lt  td gt  lt  tr gt         providersFormElementsTable   append   lt br   gt         This one does what you want dynamically  it just needs the id and labelText to make it work  which actually must be the only dynamic variables as only they will be changing  Your DOM structure will always remain the same    WORKING DEMO   Moreover  when you use the process you mentioned in your post you get only  object Object   That is because when you call createProviderFormFields   it is a function call and hence it s returning an object for you  You will not be seeing the text box  as it needs to be added   For that you need to strip individual content form the object  then construct the html from it    It s much easier to construct just the html and change the id s of the label and input according to your needs

You may use two options    createElement InnerHTML   Create Element is the fastest way  check here       document createElement  table       InnerHTML is another popular approach       foo   append   lt div gt hello world lt  div gt        Check similar for table too    Check a real example on How to create a new table with rows using jQuery and wrap it inside div      There may be other approaches as well  Please use this as a starting point and not as a copy-paste solution    Edit   Check Dynamic creation of table with DOM  Edit 2   IMHO  you are mixing object and inner HTML  Let s try with a pure inner html approach   function createProviderFormFields id  labelText  tooltip  regex        var tr     lt tr gt                 create a new textInputBox              var textInputBox     lt input type  text  id      id      name      id      title      tooltip        gt                 create a new Label Text             tr      lt td gt     labelText      lt  td gt                tr      lt td gt     textInputBox     lt  td gt          tr     lt  tr gt        return tr
