title: jQuery: $j('body').append(...) doesn't work?
body: <pre><code>function floatymessage(message){
      if (!$j('.floatymessage')){
          $j('body').append("&lt;div class='floatymessage'&gt;HERRO&lt;/div&gt;");
      }
      $j(".floatymessage").html(message)
      $j(".fleatymessage").css('display', 'block')
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When the following is executed (tested with alert('hi')) 
  i do not see the div at the bottom in webkit's inspector... I don't see the text 'HERRO' either =\</p>
  
  <p>did I do something wrong?</p>
