Convert a JS Array ìnto HTML Table | Weird <tbody> Tag?

Question

When I use this code, all the information is displayed in only one column. Also, if I check with Google Chrome, there are many

<tbody>

tags that were added to table.innerHTML .

How can I make it so it displays the header and each

content[i]

horizontally?

<table id="table1" border=\"5\" cellpadding=\"10\">



<script>

    var table = document.getElementById('table1');

    table.innerHTML = '';



    var header = ['Method','Gp/Exp','Exp/H']



    var content = [

        ['Kill',1,100],

        ['Die',42,1222],

        ['Yo',1,1245]       

    ]





    //Header

    table.innerHTML += '<tr>';

    for(var i in header){

        table.innerHTML += '<th>' + header[i] + '</th>';

    }

    table.innerHTML += '</tr>';



    //Content

    for(var i in content){

        table.innerHTML += '<tr>';

        for(var j in content[i]){

            table.innerHTML += '<td>' + content[i][j] + '</td>';

        }

        table.innerHTML += '</tr>';

    }

 </script>

I suspect this is what Ian meant:

var html = '<tr>';

for(var i in header){
    html += '<th>' + header[i] + '</th>';
}

html += '</tr>';

for(var i in content){
    html += '<tr>';
    for(var j in content[i]){
        html += '<td>' + content[i][j] + '</td>';
    }
    html += '</tr>';
}

table.innerHTML = html;

The way you've done it, you're adding badly formed HTML to the element. The overall string is fine, but my guess is that every time you do table.innerHTML +=, it realises that you're creating a dodgy HTML string, and messes around with it to get something that is valid HTML.
