Jquery Append Dom

You can't append nodes that belong to one DOM tree to another document.

Try to clone them:

$("#eventDiv").append( jData.find("contents").children().clone() );

or simply use their textual representation to have them re-created:

$("#eventDiv").append( jData.find("contents").html() );
