Try this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
     <title>Test</title>
</head>

<body>

<script type="text/javascript">
   document.write('<table>');   
   document.write('<tr>');
   document.write('<td>1,1<\/td><\/tr>');
   var str = "<tr><td>2,1<\/td><\/tr>";
   document.write(str);
   document.write('<\/table>');
</script>

</body>
</html>
