Question

I have a table with id="#table" and then the first row with id="headings", now directy after the heading row I need to insert a new row

I use the following code

$("#headings").after($("#table").prepend("<tr>...</tr>"));

but I think I’m doing something wrong here

Answer 1

Well, .after()^ref and .prepend()^ref require a “HTML string”, a “DOM node” or a “jQuery” object as argument.

So it would be actually enough to call

$('#headings').after('<tr><td></td></tr>');
