Unable to output formatted HTML from Jquery with html DataType

Question

I am calling some data which has pre-formatted HTML code in it, but when it renders from the jquery it appears to ignore my markup. This is my jQuery:

function GetFeed(){
   document.getElementById("marq").innerHTML = '';

   $.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "xmlproxy.ashx",    
    dataType: "html",
    success: function(obj) {        
       $('<span class="tickerItem"></span>').html(obj).appendTo('#marq');
    }
   });
}

What do you see when you alert(obj); in the success function? — munch

Your selector is wrong just do:

$("#marq").append(your_html);

I just tried it but unfortunately that doesn't make any difference.

then it's probably not returning anything, have you used firebug to check what the post is returning?

sorry my friend, i used the sniffer and saw that the data i was passing in must have stripped out the markup. your recommendation was fine. cheers
