Question

How can i set the width of a table column using jquery. The code provided below is not working. Please help.

  function addColumn(column) 
  {
    var iHtml;
    iHtml = "<tr><td  width="30%"><input type='checkbox'> " + column + '</td><td><input type="text" id="aln' + column + '"></td></tr>';
    return iHtml
  }

Answer 1

iHtml = '<tr><td  width="30%"><input type="checkbox"> ' + column + '</td><td><input type="text" id="aln' + column + '"></td></tr>';

just the problem of " and '

Update :

iHtml = 'text"';      // whole text inside first `'` and next `'` will be treated as string. so correct way to use
iHtml = 'text's sample';   //  incorrect way to use, correct way is iHtml = 'text\'s sample'; or iHtml = 'text"s sample';
