The selector of the following sample script is tbody. Before this script runs, the table body
consists of a single placeholder row with three cells. After running the script, it contains thirty
rows. To improve performance, most of the DOM manipulation takes place on detached
elements.
// Detach the placeholder row from the DOM
var row = query("tr", results).remove();
// Modify the cells of this row
var cells = row.children();
cells[0].html("some text").css("background-color", "yellow");
cells[1].html("some text").css("font-weight", "bold");
cells[2].html("some text");
// Create a number of copies
var rows = row.clone();
for (var i = 0; i < 30; i++) {
rows = rows.add(row.clone());
}
