Ajax functionality seems to fail when on adding a div tag to my .js.erb file

$("#new_post").before('<div id ="new_post"><%= escape_javascript(flash.delete(:notice)) %></div>');<!--TO-DO the flash messages aren't yet enabled/working-->

$("#latest_post").prepend("<%= @group_post.message %> by <%=  Investor.find(@group_post.post_by).first_name %>  <%=  distance_of_time_in_words(@group_post.created_at,Time.now) %> ago <br/><br/><hr/>");

$("#new_post")[0].reset();

       

$("#latest_post").prepend("<%= @group_post.message %> by <%=  Investor.find(@group_post.post_by).first_name %> <div class ="contentdispgrp"> <%=  distance_of_time_in_words(@group_post.created_at,Time.now) %> ago </div><br/><br/><hr/>");

       

<table>
