I previously had this problem with an external file not running.

I fixed this by loading the file dynamically instead…i.e. creating the element in JavaScript and linking to it via the .src attribute ( did this instead of using a scrip tag in the html ). Do I need to do something similar here?

Here is the embedded JavaScript I need to run that is inserted via .innerHTML of the body. Currently it is just “dead code” in my page. Note the json I’m passing in as the second variable to the set function. This is PHP composed and passed to the client via ajax POST.

<script type='text/javascript'>new Arc.Shared().set( 'tweet_data', [{"id":"1","0":"1","picture":"0","1":"0","name":"Test Account","2":"Test Account","tweet":"Hi","3":"Hi","time":"1338559048","4":"1338559048"},{"id":"1","0":"1","picture":"0","1":"0","name":"Test Account","2":"Test Account","tweet":"hi","3":"hi","time":"1338558809","4":"1338558809"},{"id":"1","0":"1","picture":"0","1":"0","name":"Test Account","2":"Test Account","tweet":"<a class=\"bookmark_tweet\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/ebay.com\">ebay <\/a>","3":"<a class=\"bookmark_tweet\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/ebay.com\">ebay <\/a>","time":"1338504456","4":"1338504456"},{"id":"1","0":"1","picture":"0","1":"0","name":"Test Account","2":"Test Account","tweet":"foo","3":"foo","time":"1338504225","4":"1338504225"},{"id":"1","0":"1","picture":"0","1":"0","name":"Test Account","2":"Test Account","tweet":"foo","3":"foo","time":"1338504222","4":"1338504222"},{"id":"1","0":"1","picture":"0","1":"0","name":"Test Account","2":"Test Account","tweet":"foo","3":"foo","time":"1338504220","4":"1338504220"},{"id":"1","0":"1","picture":"0","1":"0","name":"Test Account","2":"Test Account","tweet":"foo","3":"foo","time":"1338504217","4":"1338504217"}] );</script>

Notes:

Alternative to Eval Snippet:

var myCode = 'alert("Howdy?");';
 var myFucn = new Function(myCode);
 myFucn();

    Another way per Why doesn't embedded JavaScript execute when inserted in response to an ajax call?

    Here is the append child method…that take ajax responseText and appends it into the DOM.

    function onSuccess() {
    src = document.createElement('script');
    src.innerHTML = this.responseText;
    document.body.appendChild(src);
}

    Third way is to have an external element trigger it per here:

    Executing <script> elements inserted with .innerHTML
