I took the code of the plug-in demo page and stripped everything down to what you have (plus html, title, and body tags) and I still get the styling (gray background with 1px solid black border) on the first example.
Just to triple-check, you do have all your .js and .css files in the same folder as your page containing the code below, right? (Joern does have his .js and .css in various folders) If you do, then I'm not sure what the problem could be. I'll send you my HTML page and you can copy it to make sure we've got the same code. Let me know what happens...
