that's because your first attempt is completely wrong, you're creating a string, with unnecessary extra quotes, and doing nothing with it, then you're selecting every element in the document with id="s", changing their attributes, and then trying to move them elsewhere in the dom.

the alternative is correct (although i think you perhaps should close the tag)

if you really must use a variable then:

var s="<tr><tr/>";
$(s).attr('id','tr1').appendTo('#target');

Why use a variable if it isn't needed >.<

And those quotes are messy, theres a diff between "" and ''

I think he wants to create a new tr element than set its id to tr1 and append it to #target element

SHould be something like that (did not test it)

$("<tr/>", {"id": "tr1"}).appendTo("#target");
