The code is a bit messy.

What was the code before you modify it. Can you post the original code. So we can have a better idea what your doing.

I can't even test the code either.

Well for starters, there appears to be missing a " at the start of your content definition (content=<div id=\"content\">) :).

What is the data? Is it in an array or from your database.

Instead of using the append() function you could use the html() function. It clears the target node from any content it has and puts the content you provided into it. E.g. $('#prova').html(ndr) instead of $('#prova').append(ndr).
