})
).appendTo("body");

for loop inside the append is not working.

Answer 1

The problem is because you are not returning anything from the append function, only the each loop within it. Try this:

$("<tbody/>").append(function(){
    options = ["ONE","TWO","THREE","FOUR"];
    var $container = $('<table></table>');

    $.each(options, function(val) {
        $container.append($("<tr/>").append(
            $("<td/>").html("4/6/2013 10:41"),
            $("<td/>").html("5/6/2013 10:42"),
            $("<td/>").html(val),
            $("<td/>").html("<img src='pdf_16x16.png'/>"),
            $("<td/>").html("<a href='#'>Re-Upload Documents</a>")
        ));
    });

    return $container.html();
});
