phew! after wasting half of day on this subtle bug I finally figured
it out, I'll put it here in case others run into the same issue. I
spent most of my time playing around on client side with firebug,
everything seems just fine, but once I append some html tag, it does
nothing. when I fell back to the append example from the jquery
website and loaded it from the server side, firefox displayed it as an
XML! then I checked the server side, found the server returns the
webpage with "mimetype="application/xhtml+xml", then I removed it and
It worked.
