$('#somediv').append(html);
You're appending to the div with ID 'someDiv'. But you say that this
is the content:
<div class="somediv">
<form id="someform">
<p class="someclass">Name:</p>
<input style="display: none;" type="textbox"
name="somefield"
value="test" />
</p>
</form>
</div>
Note the class="somediv". I'm wondering if that's a typo and it's
actually id="somediv", in which case you'll have 2 divs with identical
IDs.
Just a shot in the dark.
