You don't need a callback, such operations happen one after the other in
JavaScript:
$("#childDiv").append('mygreatHTML');
$("#parentDiv").updateScrollBar();
You could of course still make a chain:
$("#childDiv").append('mygreatHTML').parent().updateScrollBar();
That frees you from having to use another hardcoded id...
