Question

I want to load external javascript file but I can’t use AJAX requests because of same origin policy, and I have a code:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
    var script = document.createElement('script');
        script.type = 'text/javascript';
        script.src = 'test.js';
    head.appendChild(script);
</script>

That is ok everywhere (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, IE9, IE6) but not in IE8, IE7.
How can I make it work in IE8?

Answer 1

How about the old document.write('<script language="javascript" src="test.js"><\/script>'). Also you do not have to append to head you can use body to.
