[jQuery] Safari append to empty div

[jQuery] Safari append to empty div


well, I've developed an admin system which rely heavely on jQuery.
But, safari can't seem to append html to empty div's (or perhaps any
div) - is there a fix to this?
im doing something like this:
var str = 'lorem ipsum';
$("#emptyDiv").append(str);
But nothing happens, works in firefox though =/
