I want to populate a predefined html table using JavaScript: <table> <tr> <th scope=col>ID</th>

I want to populate a predefined html table using JavaScript:

<table>
    <tr>
        <th scope="col">ID</th>
        <th scope="col">Name</th>
    </tr>
    <div id='data'/>
</table>

using 

document.getElementById('data').innerHTML = ....

But since <div> is not allowed inside of <table> above code doesn’t work. What is the correct way to achieve this?

    Instead of Div you can use tr and td.

     <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function addRow(content,morecontent)
{
         if (!document.getElementsByTagName) return;
         tabBody=document.getElementsByTagName("tbody").item(0);
         row=document.createElement("tr");
         cell1 = document.createElement("td");
         cell2 = document.createElement("td");
         textnode1=document.createTextNode(content);
         textnode2=document.createTextNode(morecontent);
         cell1.appendChild(textnode1);
         cell2.appendChild(textnode2);
         row.appendChild(cell1);
         row.appendChild(cell2);
         tabBody.appendChild(row);


}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<table border='1' id='mytable'>
<tbody>
<tr><td>22</td><td>333</td></tr>
<tr><td>22</td><td>333</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<button onClick='addRow("123","456");return false;'>
Add Row</button>
</body>
</html>
