Question

I am able to select a linked script element. Is there a way to read the contents into a string?

I have jQuery available.

You can do ajax request and pass script url (src attribute). Server will return js source. Example:

var script = $('selector');
var src = script.attr('src');

if (src.indexOf('://') == -1) {
    src = document.location.href.substr(0, document.location.href.lastIndexOf('/') + 1) + src;
}

$.get(src, {}, function(data){
    // do something
});
