just a bit of explanation on what you tried and why it didn't work:
$('#myTable > tr');
means "select TR tags immediately (>) after the TABLE tag, whereas, as karl
rightly pointed out, for browsers, even though you wrote your html as table
> tr, it really is table > tbody tr
whereas
$('#myTable tr');
means: "select all TR inside the TABLE tags". No problem if there is a tbody
or not, the TR is in any case inside the table.
also you wrote
table#myTable it is ok, but it is in fact a bit slower to process because
there is nothing more efficient that getElementById. If you specify the tag
TABLE, then it first looks for TABLES tags, then check for their id. so it
is better to use only the ID.
