can i achieve this even more simpler way ???Here i have my requests populated in a html table... My table is like \[code\]<table><tr><td>request number</td><td align="center">approve</td><td align="center">reject</td><td align="center">query</td></tr></table>\[/code\]As u can see i have a single row only in mt html code...But after the ajax call my table is populated with several rows of requests..Now after this is done i have to get the count of table rows and show it in my pending requests()LIKE 
ending requests(9)...where 9 is the number of pending requests.
