 jQuery Add Dynamic Table with data in Array: Here in this article will explain how to create HTML table dynamically from the Array variable using jQuery. This means the columns, rows, and data get added dynamically to HTML table at runtime using jQuery.

CODE : Here we have a Array variable with some data i.e. bookDetails, which later to be used for binding to the HTML table. We have a simple array where we stored data .i.e some book id, book name and their author.
//*
var bookDetails=[];
bookDetails.push(["Book Id","Book Title", "Author"]);
bookDetails.push(["1","Mein Kampf ", "Adolf Hitler"]);
bookDetails.push(["2","Relativity: The Special and the General Theory", "Albert Einstein"]);
bookDetails.push(["3","Think and Grow Rich" ,  "Napoleon Hill"]);
bookDetails.push(["4","The Art of Public Speaking", "Dale Carnegie"]);
bookDetails.push(["5","Tales of Secret Egypt", "Sax Rohmer"]);
bookDetails.push(["6","The Fakir" , "BHARUCHA"]);
bookDetails.push(["7","Code Name God"," Mani Bhaumick"]);

Html Markup:

Add an HTML button tag and a div tag, where div tag will be the parent container of the dynamically generated table.
//*
<button id="btnGenerateTable">Generate Table</button>
<br>
<div id="parentHolder">
</div>
//*

jQuery:

Now here's the main piece of code, where we are going to generate HTML table dynamically with jQuery.
//*
$("#btnGenerateTable").on('click', function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var parentDiv = $("#parentHolder");
    parentDiv.html("");
    var aTable = $("<table>", {
        "id": "newTable"
    }).appendTo(parentDiv);
    var rowCount = bookDetails.length;
    var colmCount = bookDetails[0].length;

    // For loop for adding header .i.e th to our table
    for (var k = 0; k < 1; k++) {
        var fragTrow = $("<tr>", {
            "class": "trClass"
        }).appendTo(aTable);
        for (var j = 0; j < colmCount; j++) {
            $("<th>", {
                "class": "thClass"
            }).prependTo(fragTrow).html(bookDetails[k][j]);
        }
    }

    //For loop for adding data .i.e td with data to our dynamic generated table
    for (var i = 1; i < rowCount; i < i++) {
        var fragTrow = $("<tr>", {
            "class": "trClass"
        }).appendTo(aTable);
        for (var j = 0; j < colmCount; j++) {
            $("<td>", {
                "class": "tdClass"
            }).appendTo(fragTrow).html(bookDetails[i][j]);
        }
    }
});
