Include javascript files in ajax loaded content

[battle.chris]

Hello.

I'm using Prototype's Updater class to refresh sections of a page. Is
there a way to include an external javascript files in the updated
content; i.e., have a javascript tag with src attribute? Can't seem to
get this to work.

Also, if there is a way, will the browser cache any dynamically loaded
scripts?

Thanks.

So for example you have your first page with the ajax code on it that
calls a second page and posts it's contents onto main page. You want
any script tags in second page to be loaded when you ajax call it from
first page?

My apologies to you for that.


Yes, it is simple. This thread:

<URL:http://groups.google.com.au/group/comp.lang.javascript/browse_frm/thr...>

And it's associated links will probably teach you more about what you
are wanting to do than you ever wanted to know. It also covers some of
the pitfalls (especially with IE7 if the first element is a script element).


That depends on server headers and browser settings.
