I have been puzzling with this for quite a while and can’t get it to work. Here is the situation. I want a SOCIAL MEDIA bar to ONLY appear if people click some DIV. It should not be loaded unless people click the div. For Social Media I have ADD THIS, and the GOOGLE+1 icon. But I can not get them to load by such an external call. Here is the code so far:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> 
<head> 
<title>Test</title> 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript"> 
$(function(){
    $("#socialmedia").live('click',function(){
            $("#loadhere").load('html-part.html');
            $.getScript('js-part.js');
    });

});
</script> 
</head> 
<body> 


<div id="socialmedia"> 
 Show the Social Media
</div> 

<div id="loadhere"> 

</div> 


</body> 
</html>

In the HTML part I have the HTML info that needs to be loaded:

html-part.html:

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --> 
    <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style "> 
        <a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a> 
        <a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a> 
        <a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a> 
    </div> 

    <!-- AddThis Button END --> 
    <g:plusone size="medium" id="gg"></g:plusone> 
</div>

For the JS part I am struggling. Here is what needs to be loaded:

<script type="text/javascript">var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true};</script> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ID"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script>

I have tried to call them one by one:

$.getScript('http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ID');
$.getScript('https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js');

But I guess this is a crossdomain problem…?

If I use PHP to obtain the content, and load a local PHP file, it still does not work. Before spending one more day on this… is this possible to achieve?

    The problem here is that addthis code fires on dom ready event. When you load it with jQuery the dom has already been loaded so the code is not executed. The fix is to use addthis.init() method to force the code execution after you load the code. There is no cross domain problem or anything.

    Note that according to addthis documentation it should be possible by just passing a get variable through the widget url like this http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=[PROFILE ID]&domready=1 but it didn’t work for me.

    I would also recommend you store the html in a string variable, that way you don’t have to do unnecesary requests for a little static html.

    See working demo here: http://jsfiddle.net/z7zrK/3/

    $("#socialmedia").click(function(){
    var add_this_html =
    '<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style ">'+
    '<a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a>'+
    '<a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a>'+        
    '<a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style">'+
    '</a>'+ 
    '</div>'+
    '<g:plusone size="medium" id="gg"></g:plusone>';

    $("#loadhere").html(add_this_html);
    $.getScript('http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=xxx',
    function(){
        addthis.init(); //callback function for script loading
    });  

  $.getScript('https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js');
});
