Your code doesn't show any use of jScrollPane at all so I'm not sure what your
problem is...

Maybe you are forgetting to re-initialise the jScrollPane after you have added
content to it? You can see an example of doing so here:

If your problem is something else then please provide a URL demonstrating the 
problem
and maybe I can help...

i have the same problem...
$('#scrollpane').jScrollPane({showArrows: true});

but when appended like so..
$("#maindiv").append($("#scrollpane"));

..it doesn't show. but checking the html raw file via view source, it's there. 
tried to reinitialise but doesn't work as well.

Please see here for where to get support for jScrollPane:

The issue you are running into is because jScrollPane needs to wrap the element 
you apply it to so that it can place the scrollbars in the document. So when 
you append the element elsewhere in the document you loose all of the wrapping. 
Also, jScrollPane needs to know where the element is sitting so that it can 
correctly calculate the size of the element you are applying it to. For these 
reasons I would suggest first appending the element to the correct place in the 
document and then initialising jScrollPane...
