ID selector not working immediately after append

[l3akhshi@…]

I tried to fetch newly appended row to my table and change its content, it seems that the object which I have selected is somehow different from the object appended. limiting the search boundary solved the problem (the ID is guaranteed to be unique):

table is jquery object containing a table object

below is not working

var currentRowID = "monitoringDataRow"+(++sequenceGen); var tr = "<tr id='"+currentRowID+"'></tr>" if(oldRows.rows.length == 0)

table.append(tr);

var jrow = $("#"+currentRowID); jrow.html("<td style='width:150px'>"+row.displayName+"</td><td style='width:150px'>"+row.lastDateTime+"</td><td>"+ProcessLastAction(row.lastAction, currentRowID)+"</td>");

the content do not change although the row is appended (an empty row).

sorry for submitting this ticket! It seems that it was my own mistake. to tell more about the condition were this was happening here is the scenario:
1-I had a table where in 2sec intervals, some rows where removed and where replaced by new ones.
2-later I added a feature by which some of these rows could contain a sub-table
3-this was the root of the problem! my new row was added to main table and all sub-tables! and when I tried selecting the row using rowID it jQuery was returning the row which was located in sub-tables.

Due to strict timing and the idea of "selecting by rowID will give me what I want" I was not able to find my mistake ;)

thank you again
