gistfile1.js
$.ajax({
url: "test.html",
dataType: 'xml',
success: function (data) {
$('#cancelPayment',data).attr('bar','element');
var str = (new XMLSerializer()).serializeToString(data);
$('#appDiv').html(str).trigger('create');
}
});

So it turns out that using the 'xml' feature, the return data(html) has to be clean with proper closing tags and whatnot. Once I more properly formatted the html, it works! Huge thanx for your help. To some it might not seem like such a big deal to de-emphasize the cancel button, but to me it's huge and it makes a clearer path to completion, give the user a better UX and increases conversion.

Because I have no control over what the Java Developer is giving me (i.e.broken html), I ended up with a different solution:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST", 
    url: url,
    data: paymentStr,
    success: function(data) {

        var dataStorage = $(bpm.remoteAppDivName).html(data);

        $('#cancelPayment').attr('data-theme','d')

        dataStorage.trigger('create');
    }
});

Though I would share this with you. Thanx again!
