$.post with jQuery not returning results when done

function updateCount(text){
text = encodeURIComponent(text);
$.post("../process/countpaste.php", {text: text}).done(function( data ) {
    $( "#stats" ).empty().append($( data ));
});
}

On countpaste.php,

<?php

$text = urldecode($_POST['text']);

?>
<?=strlen($text)?> characters, <?=str_word_count($text)?> words, <?=substr_count($text, "\n")?> lines

For some reason, the string from the PHP page is not being placed in the #stats div. Stats exists, and this method is getting called properly.

    text = encodeURIComponent(text);
    $.post("../process/countpaste.php", {text: text}).done(function( data ) {
        $( "#stats" ).empty().append(   data  );
   });
}

not $(data) but just (data)
