Why is this function not being invoked?

Why is below function update() not updating ? Is the structure of this fiddle correct ?

fiddle code :

HTML:

<body>
    <div id="toupdate">
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="http://static.polldaddy.com/p/6343621.js"></script>
    </div>
</body>​

JavaScript:

$(document).ready(function() {
    update();
});

function update(){
    $('#toupdate').remove();
    alert('removed');
    $('body').append('<div id="toupdate">
        <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="http://static.polldaddy.com/p/6343621.js"></script>
    </div>');
}

You can't have new lines in a JavaScript string like that. Also the </script> maybe causing the JS to stop.

$('body').append('<div id="toupdate"><script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="http://static.polldaddy.com/p/6343621.js"></scr'+'ipt></div>');
