Please help with jquery skinned form: the css is not applied

I'm using the jquery plugin [url="http://www.dfc-e.com/metiers/multimedia/opensource/jqtransform/"]found here[/url]. I love the look but I have a form that uses functions like this:

function cascadeCountry(value) {
   if (document.getElementById("srchlookstate_province") != null) {
      http.open('get', 'cascade_search.php?a=country&v=' + value );
      document.getElementById('srchlookstate_province').innerHTML="  "+loadingTag;
      http.onreadystatechange = handleResponse;
      http.send(null);
   }
}


So, when you select a country and it retrieves the state/province text input, the jquery css is not applied to it. Is there something I need to add to the code above or to the jquery initialization code here:

$(function() {
   $("form.jqtransform").jqTransform();
});
