More readable way to do this?

renderHtmlTable(function(tableItems) {   var tableArray,_i,item,_len;  tableArray = ['<table id = sampleTable ><thead><tr>' +                        '<th>Header 1</th>' +                        '<th>Header 2</th>' +                        '<th>Header 3</th>' +                        '<th>Header 4</th>' +                        '</tr></thead>'];    for (_i = 0, _len = tableItems.length; _i < _len; _i++) {    item = tableItems[_i];    tableArray.push('<tr><td>' + item.foo + '</td>' +                       '<td>' + item.bar + '</td>' +                      '<td>' + item.baz + '</td>' +                      '<td>' + item.qux + '</td></tr>')  }            tableArray.push('</table>'); ($('#TableDiv')).html(function() {   return lessonArray.join(""); });

this seems a little bit more readable (at least to me :)

    var table = $("<table>").attr("id", "sampleTable ")        .append($("<thead>")                .append($("<tr>")                    .append($("<th>").text("Header 1"))                    .append($("<th>").text("Header 2"))                    .append($("<th>").text("Header 3"))                    .append($("<th>").text("Header 4"))                )        );    for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {        table.append($("<tr>")                .append($("<td>").text("foo"))                .append($("<td>").text("bar"))                .append($("<td>").text("foo"))                .append($("<td>").text("bar"))        );    }    table.appendTo("body");

Use mustache.js! It's a js templating engine which will point you in the right direction :)
