Question

I want to include a remote js file and then invoke a function once that has finished executing. I thought I could do something like this:

var sc = document.createElement('script');
sc.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
sc.setAttribute('src', src);
sc.innerHTML = "alert('testing');"
parentNode.appendChild(sc);

Turns out, the alert(‘testing’) gets wiped out be whatever is in the file. Is there anyway to do this?

Answer 1

Have you tried just creating a second script element containing the code you want to run and adding that after the you’ve added the one that needs downloading?
