HTML table with Sharepoint List Values

I'm having trouble working with a severely locked down version of sharepoint. I am trying to render a graph based on a Sharepoint list and although i've had success displaying the chart in sharepoint using JQuery with a HTML table, the JQuery plugin I'm using will not render the sharepoint list out of the box.

The Microsoft table renders ho开发者_开发问答rribly. The list is simple but I need to add the values into a properly structured HTML table which will allow me to then extract the values from it using JavaScript.

Any suggestions as to how I could loop the list values into a 'proper' table which I could then manipulate with Javascript would be greatly appreciated.

Just so you're aware, I have no access to sharepoint designer or any back-end system and so any manipulation is limited to whatever I can run client side or in a custom web part.

Thanks in advance!

This is a different approach, but you could try getting your data using the SPServices JQuery library on Codeplex to get your data through web services.

You would get the list item data using the GetListItems operation.

This approach would eliminate the need try parsing the SharePoint HTML tables. You can do this all through a Content Editor or Form web part.
