            }

        });
    });

I would do something like

success: function(data){
                alert("3");
              $(data).each(function(){ 
                    $('#tbody').append('<tr><td>' + this.id + '</td><td>' + this.name + '</td><td>' + this.age + '</td><td>' + this.salary + '</td><td>' + this.address + '</td></tr>')
                });

and instead of giving table id just put an id to table body where you want to append
