I think this script is what exactly you need       var t   document getElementById  myTable    var r  document createElement  TR    t tBodies 0  appendChild r

You re close  Just add the row to the tbody instead of table   myTbody insertRow      Just get a reference to tBody  myTbody  before use  Notice that you don t need to pass the last position in a table  it s automatically positioned at the end when omitting argument   A live demo is at jsFiddle

Basic approach   This should add HTML-formatted content and show the newly added row   var myHtmlContent     lt h3 gt hello lt  h3 gt   var tableRef   document getElementById  myTable   getElementsByTagName  tbody   0    var newRow   tableRef insertRow tableRef rows length   newRow innerHTML   myHtmlContent

If you want to add a row into the tbody  get a reference to it and call its insertRow method   x000D   x000D  var tbodyRef   document getElementById  myTable   getElementsByTagName  tbody   0       Insert a row at the end of table var newRow   tbodyRef insertRow        Insert a cell at the end of the row var newCell   newRow insertCell        Append a text node to the cell var newText   document createTextNode  new row    newCell appendChild newText   x000D   lt table id  myTable  gt     lt thead gt       lt tr gt         lt th gt My Header lt  th gt       lt  tr gt     lt  thead gt     lt tbody gt       lt tr gt         lt td gt initial row lt  td gt       lt  tr gt     lt  tbody gt     lt tfoot gt       lt tr gt         lt td gt My Footer lt  td gt       lt  tr gt     lt  tfoot gt   lt  table gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    old demo on JSFiddle
