Caveat:
Jonathan's method will get you the child table (the one with id rt0
from the original OP's example), however Eric's will get you all
tables that are children of a table, within the context of the parent
container. So in the latter case, if the parent already had a set of
nested tables before you appended the new set, you'll get both child
tables.
