            foreach ($rec as $key=>$val){
        ?>
        <script type="text/javascript">
        var cntr = "<?php echo $j;?>";
        var reference_value = '<?php echo $val["GETVAL"];?>';
        var sel = '<select name="code[]">'+options+'</select>';
        var txt  = '<input type="text" class="TextBox" name="referencevalue[]"  valign="top" value="'+ reference_value +'">';                  
            t += '<tr id ='+cntr+'><td>'+cntr+'</td><td valign="top">'+sel+'</td><td valign="top" ailgn="center">'+txt+'</td></tr>';

If the variable t is the whole table markup, then yeah, that might not work if you are trying to append it to the table. You'd probably want t to be:

var t = '<tr><td>foo</td></tr>'

At that point, you should be able to:

$("table#ref").append(t)

jQuery#append adds the markup to the end of the target element's children.

First, kind of meta to the question: why are you doing this? Why not just render the markup directly in the page via PHP instead of rendering <script> elements for the client to accomplish the same task?

To directly answer: Your code needs to be wrapped in a document.ready handler, since the element with id="ref" isn't yet in the DOM when you're executing:

$("#ref").append(t);

So it isn't finding the element...that doesn't exist yet. Wrap it in a ready handler, like this:

$(function() {
  $("#ref").append(t);
});

This way it executed after the DOM is completely loaded/ready to go, and the #ref selector will find the <table> you're after.

To make this work though, you'll also need to remove the id from <div id="ref" style="display:none">, since IDs need to be unique.
