Virtual List with Data Tables

The Virtual List has an option createUl, which says

Will automatically create <ul> element inside of Virtual List block. If disabled, then virtual list can be used on any block element without ul > li structure

Using

createUl : false

Is it possible to use it to create

rows in data-tables ?

I have tried it but I get and error
TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'itemEl.style.top = "".concat(topPosition, "px")')

It works when using <div> or <li> in the template. but fails when i try to create a <tr> row

Thanks
