I've got an AJAX transmission of a variable string in my primary coding language (Visual FoxPro 9) that looks like this:

     AjaxResponse = CREATEOBJECT("Custom")
     lcMessage = "<li class='hello'>Hello</li>"
     AjaxResponse.AddProperty("Reply", lcMessage)
     Response.ContentType = "text/html"
     Response.Write(AjaxResponse.Reply)

While using the jQuery function .ajax() I've created a success: function that looks like this:

        $.ajax({
    url: 'index?Proc=GetUuserHistory',
    dataType: "html",
    success: function(data){
        $("div#history-text").text(data);
        };
         });

My problem is that the text inserting into 'div#history-text' is unformatted and contains the li tags still. I've tried substituting the .text for .prepend, .append, and .html with no luck...is there a way to convert this string back to html format after its been received using Ajax?
