I get the following error and don't know where my mistake is:
Unexpected token <
Code (echo because of PHP used):
echo '<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){$("#sellerDrafts > tbody:last").append(';
foreach($this->view->sellercentral as $key2 => $value2)
{
echo '<tr><td><a href='. $value2->itemToken .'>Edit</a></td></tr>';}
echo '});</script>';

Answer 1

The problem is that you do not have quotes "" surrounding your append (and href), and it is not being closed with );.
echo '<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){$("#sellerDrafts > tbody:last").append("';
foreach($this->view->sellercentral as $key2 => $value2)
{
echo '<tr><td>Edit</td></tr>';
}
echo '");});</script>';
On a side note, this is really not the best way to do this. A better way to do this would be to build it in PHP first then hand it off to your javascript. Like so:
<?php
$table = "";
foreach($this->view->sellercentral as $key2 => $value2)
{
$table = '<tr><td>Edit</td></tr>';
}
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#sellerDrafts > tbody:last").append("<?php echo $table; ?>");
});
</script>
