Question

I want to insert a rowspan after every first td in every table, but I can’t.

I started searching and made this code. It doesn’t work, but may tell more about thing I need.

$("table").each(function(){
    var rowcount = $("tr").length;
    var insert = ('<td rowspan="' + rowcount + '" class="table-rowspan">&nbsp;</td>')
    $("table td:first").after(insert);
});
