This seems like a good time to plug the amazing firebug extension for
firefox.

For debugging code like the above that generates dynamic markup for the
browser, firebug is indispensable.  It will show you the actual generated
source as opposed to what you get when you View->Source.  (It will also
show DOM events, XMLHttpRequest traffic, and other goodies)
