Question

Is it possible to set the contents of a script element with jQuery? Currently I have:

$(document).ready(function () {
var s = document.createElement("script");
s.type = "text/javascript";
s.src = "http://somedomain.com/somescri...";
$("head").append(s);
});

What if I wanted to replace src property with actual javascript code? Is this possible with jQuery or Javascript?

Answer 1

There’s a better way to write that, using $.getScript:

$.getScript("http://somedomain.com/somescri...")

As mentioned, you’re looking for eval

eval('x = 2');
alert(x)
