append(), appendTo() and script evaluation

append(), appendTo() and script evaluation

Hello,

I'm retrieving content using Ajax and then I insert it inside the DOM. But there is one very strange thing:

If I add the new nodes with append(), the script nodes are executed.
If I add the new nodes with appendTo(), the script nodes are NOT executed.

Is it an intended behaviour or is it a bug? It's doesn't look documented.

Thanks for your anwsers,
Sincerely,
Savageman.
