why it doesn't work would probably because of this from the jquery src:
text: function(e) {
if ( typeof e == "string" )
return this.empty().append( document.createTextNode( e
) );
.
.
as you havn't provided more code the best thing I could suggest is to do this:
$(this).parents("div.sidebarToDo").find("td.sidebarText").empty().append("<input
type=\"text\" size=\"10\" class=\"editableTDItem\" value=\"" +
document.createTextNode(item) + "\">");
