I am sure I am missing something very basic here, but... googling didn't 
help...

When I have a contoller which I use in ajax calls, it all works just 
perfect except that the view loses the formatting (for example, it does 
keep the links and bullets - yet loses bootstrap formatting of everything). 
I don't understand why this happens and how to fix it. After all the view 
extends layout.html which does include everything, so why would it make a 
difference if html code is direct on the page or embedded via ajax? 

For example: the following 2 controllers via ajax produce exactly same 
non-formatted html:

def test1():
    return XML("<ul class='nav nav-tabs'><li class='active'><a 
href='#'>Home</a></li><li>\
               #<a href='#'>M1</a></li><li><a href='#'>M2</a></li><li><a 
href='#'>M3</a></li></ul>")
    
def test2():
    return XML("<ul><li><a href='#'>Home</a></li><li>\
               <a href='#'>M1</a></li><li><a href='#'>M2</a></li><li><a 
href='#'>M3</a></li></ul>")

In fact, even without ajax, when I allow these controllers to go through 
default views (i.e. without having a dedicated view) - this is exactly what 
happens too, but here I sort of understand it - while in a case of ajax I 
don't, because ajax is embedded into real view html and should really 
pickup all the appropriate formatting which works well on the rest the 
page. 

What am I missing? How do I fix this?
