Jquery insert new row into table at a certain index

I know how to append or prepend a new row into a table using jquery:

$('#my_table > tbody:last').append(html);

How to I insert the row (given in the html variable) into a specific "row index" i. So if i=3, for instance, the row will be inserted as the 4th row in the table.

To add the right under a specific node(data-tt-id), this worked for me:

var someValue = "blah-id";

$("#tableID > tbody > tr[data-tt-id="' + someValue + '"]').after(row);

Adding on to Nick Craver's answer and also considering the point raised by rossisdead, if scenario exists like one has to append to an empty table, or before a certain row, I have done like this:

var arr = []; //array
if (your condition) {
  arr.push(row.id); //push row's id for eg: to the array
  idx = arr.sort().indexOf(row.id);

  if (idx === 0) {   
    if (arr.length === 1) {  //if array size is only 1 (currently pushed item)
        $("#tableID").append(row);
    }
    else {       //if array size more than 1, but index still 0, meaning inserted row must be the first row
       $("#tableID tr").eq(idx + 1).before(row);
    }   
  }          
  else {     //if index is greater than 0, meaning inserted row to be after specified index row
      $("#tableID tr").eq(idx).after(row);
  }    
}

Hope it helps someone.

I know it's coming late but for those people who want to implement it purely using the JavaScript , here's how you can do it:

  1. Get the reference to the current tr which is clicked.
  2. Make a new tr DOM element.
  3. Add it to the referred tr parent node.

HTML:

<table>
     <tr>
                    <td>
                        <button id="0" onclick="addRow()">Expand</button>
                    </td>
                    <td>abc</td>
                    <td>abc</td>
                    <td>abc</td>
                    <td>abc</td>
     </tr>

     <tr>
                    <td>
                        <button id="1" onclick="addRow()">Expand</button>
                    </td>
                    <td>abc</td>
                    <td>abc</td>
                    <td>abc</td>
                    <td>abc</td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
                    <td>
                        <button id="2" onclick="addRow()">Expand</button>
                    </td>
                    <td>abc</td>
                    <td>abc</td>
                    <td>abc</td>
                    <td>abc</td>
     </tr>

In JavaScript:

function addRow() {
        var evt = event.srcElement.id;
        var btn_clicked = document.getElementById(evt);
        var tr_referred = btn_clicked.parentNode.parentNode;
        var td = document.createElement('td');
        td.innerHTML = 'abc';
        var tr = document.createElement('tr');
        tr.appendChild(td);
        tr_referred.parentNode.insertBefore(tr, tr_referred.nextSibling);
        return tr;
    }

This will add the new table row exactly below the row on which the button is clicked.

Note:

$('#my_table > tbody:last').append(newRow); // this will add new row inside tbody

$("table#myTable tr").last().after(newRow);  // this will add new row outside tbody 
                                             //i.e. between thead and tbody
                                             //.before() will also work similar

Try this:

var i = 3;

$('#my_table > tbody > tr:eq(' + i + ')').after(html);

or this:

var i = 3;

$('#my_table > tbody > tr').eq( i ).after(html);

or this:

var i = 4;

$('#my_table > tbody > tr:nth-child(' + i + ')').after(html);

All of these will place the row in the same position. nth-child uses a 1 based index.

Use the eq selector to selct the nth row (0-based) and add your row after it using after, so:

$('#my_table > tbody:last tr:eq(2)').after(html);

where html is a tr

You can use .eq() and .after() like this:

$('#my_table > tbody > tr').eq(i-1).after(html);

The indexes are 0 based, so to be the 4th row, you need i-1, since .eq(3) would be the 4th row, you need to go back to the 3rd row (2) and insert .after() that.
