great! that's the .end() part i was missing! Thanks, i can now sleep nicely :) > I agree with Charlie that it's a better idea to set the style with css > and then just add a class to the td elements. Whether you do that > server-side or in the success callback is up to you. This example was just for illustration purpose. What i need to do is more complicated than that and actually done by server-side scripting. I just wanted to understand exactly how jquery worked. Since when not specifiying the context (thus working with the current document DOM) it worked implicitly i was sure there was a way to get this done within a specified context. > Also, you ought to append table rows to a <tbody>, not to a <table>. That's for sure, illustration purpose again :) Thanks to both of you for that help!
