I'm trying to use jQuery to insert HTML into a table element. I've been messing variations of the selector (below) with no luck. Can someone help me?

My Selector:

$j('#ctl00_body_gridData_dom').children('table:first').append("<thead><tr><td colspan='6'>&nbsp;</td><td align='center' colspan='7'>EM SPECS</td><td align='center' colspan='7'>FISH</td><td colspan='11'>&nbsp;</td></tr></thead>");

Here's what I am trying to do...

I want to insert this:

<thead>
<tr>
    <td colspan="6">
        &nbsp;
    </td>
    <td align="center" colspan="7">
        EM SPECS
    </td>
    <td align="center" colspan="7">
        FISH
    </td>
   <td colspan="11">
        &nbsp;
    </td>
</tr>
</thead>

The sample below is what I want the end result to look like...

So It Looks Like This: Jquery Event Pool

<table id="ctl00_body_gridData" style="width: 2000px; -moz-user-select: none;" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td id="ctl00_body_gridData_dom" class="GridData" style="vertical-align: top; height: 245px;" valign="top">
        <table style="width: 100%;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
          <thead>
            <tr>
                <td colspan="6">
                    &nbsp;
                </td>
                <td align="center" colspan="7">
                    EM SPECS
                </td>
                <td align="center" colspan="7">
                    FISH
                </td>
               <td colspan="11">
                    &nbsp;
                </td>
            </tr>
          </thead>
