i am using this to add a row dynamically to a table
$('#myTable tr:last').after('<tr><td>1</td><td>a</td></tr>');
but it doesn't seem to work if the table has no records:
<table id="myTable" class="altTable">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>
Col1
</th>
<th>
Col2
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
</tbody>
</table>
what would be the right selector here to add a row that would work if there are 0 or > 0 rows existing ?
