Need help converting a table
This may not look long but I promise this is not for the lighthearted

I have the following table I am trying to modify via jquery...
- <table id="mtable" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" style="width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;">
<tbody><tr>
<td>
<span id="mspan" class="merror"></span>
<table width="100%">
<tbody><tr>
<td nowrap="nowrap">User name:</td>
<td width="100%"><input name="mname" type="text" id="mname" autocomplete="off" class="ms-inputuserfield" style="width:99%;"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td nowrap="nowrap">Password:</td>
<td width="100%"><input name="mpassword" type="password" id="mpassword" autocomplete="off" class="ms-inputuserfield" style="width:99%;"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="right"><input type="submit" name="mlogin" value="Sign In" id="mlogin"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><input id="mremember" type="checkbox" name="mremember"><label for="mremember">Sign me in automatically</label></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="mdescriptiontext" style="text-align:center">
<br>
<a id="mreset" href="/location.htm">Reset</a>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
..And my goal is to convert it to this...
- <table id="mtable" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" style="width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;">
<tbody><tr>
<td>
<div id="loginerror">
<span id="mspan" class="merror"></span>
</div>
</td>
<td>
<div id="loginusername">
<input name="mname" type="text" id="mname" autocomplete="off" class="ms-inputuserfield" style="width:99%;">
</div>
</td>
<td>
<div id="loginpassword">
<input name="mpassword" type="password" id="mpassword" autocomplete="off" class="ms-inputuserfield" style="width:99%;">
</div>
</td>
<td>
<div id="loginsubmit">
<input type="submit" name="mlogin" value="Sign In" id="mlogin">
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
I'm basically..
removing the <tr>'s ,
adding <div> tags with ids around the content in each td
...and elemenating a couple td's towards the bottom.
thats it. Any help would be awesome! I need to learn how to convert complex tables, but just don't know where to start...what should be my weapon of choice in this situation?
Thanks for any help!
