Question: I'm trying to add values to a table using jQuery - unfortunately, I don't know how to get jQuery to add table cells to an existing row. For example:

```
$("<td><a href='#'>" + key + "</a></td>").click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    testset(key);
}).appendTo('#table1');

```

This adds cells to the end of the table with id `table1`. What would be the best way to go about adding cells to an existing table row (`<tr>`) using jQuery? Quick google hasn't revealed anything.

Answer: 
```
.appendTo('#table1 #rowId');

```

Or you could do:

```
.appendTo('#table1 tr:nth-child(5)');

```

You must append them to a specific row and not to the table:

```
$("<td><a href='#'>" + key + "</a></td>").click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    testset(key);
}).appendTo('#table1 tr#yourrowId');

```
