How to insert a block of javascript code to a html page...

Issue: innerHTML simply writes HTML as a string; it doesn't call the javascript interpreter to parse and execute any scripts that are part of the string

Reference: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum91/2912.htm

Solution: manually find these scripts inside the text string and append them to the document $vPat = new RegExp('<script .+>([^<]+)</script>','g'); RegExp.lastIndex = 0; // making sure while (($vResult=$vPat.exec($vTxt))!=null) { for (var i=1;i<$vResult.length;i++) { var js = document.createElement("script"); js.setAttribute("type","text/javascript"); js.text = $vResult[i]; document.getElementById($vDivID).appendChild(js); } // rof } // rof
