Node.js How to parse / excute javascript receive from node server?

I'm new on Node, I have the following problem, I have a http://mydomain.com/mypage.php that do some stuff, and I want to call http://mydomain.com:8080 (where is located the node server).

var server = require('http').createServer(function(req, res){
                  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/javascript'});
                  res.end('$("#messages").append("<br> test123");');

                });
server.listen(8080);

Seems to work, because I receive in my client :

$("#messages").append("<br> test123");

but the code receive, is not execute!

any idea ?

thanks in advance Dany

php Code simplified (mypage.php):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>demo game </title>


<script src="/js/jquery-1.8.3.min.js"></script>


<script src="http://127.0.0.1:8080"></script>

</head>

<body>

<div id="messages"></div>
<input type="text" id="text-input">
<input type="button" value="Send" id="send-button">

</body>
</html>

jquery
node.js

try returning this

$(function(){
  $("#messages").append("<br> test123"); 
})

this might be happening because script is being executed before div#messages is loaded and hence there is no reference to div#messages
