jQuery is simple and very powerful. This example demonstrate the power of two jQuery methods detach() and append() to manipulate HTML table rows and its elements. detach() keeps all jQuery data associated with the removed elements. This method is useful when removed elements are to be reinserted into the DOM at a later time. In this example we start with two HTML tables one that has data and another one is empty. When you click on the button it detaches the Row from the top Table and appends it to the bottom Table. You can use the prepend() method also to add them as the first row in the bottom table.
