Say I have a string like this:

var tablestring = "<table><tr><td>Test</td></tr></table>";

Is it possible to populate a table DOM object doing something like this:

var Test = document.createElement("TABLE");
Test.value = tablestring;

  • Are you partial to using jQuery to achieve this? A jumping-off point might be in this question here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11047670/creating-a-jquery-object-from-a-big-html-string – Geoff James Aug 25 '16 at 11:51

Yes it is. Using .innerHTML you can assign html to a dom element. Please see the snippet below:

function addTable(){
 var tablestring = "<table><tr><td>Test</td></tr></table>";
 var container = document.getElementById('container');
 container.innerHTML = tablestring;
}
<button onclick="addTable()"> Add table </button>
<div id="container"></div>

you can do this :

var tablestring = "<table><tr><td>Test</td></tr></table>";

var Test = document.createElement("Div");
Test.innerHTML= tablestring;

document.body.appendChild(Test);

You can use .html() in jQuery to add tablestring in div. It may be help to you.

function addTable(){
 var tablestring = "<table class='table'><tr><td>Test</td></tr></table>";
 $('#myTable').html(tablestring);
}
.table{
  border:1px solid red;
  }
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button onclick="addTable()"> Add table </button>
<div id="myTable"></div>
