If you are trying to run the script in an updated div, that may work with the internal scripts - something like;
<script type=”text/javascript”>
alert(’hello’);
</script>
But when you try to access some external javascrips, (e.g);
<script type=”text/javascript”>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”/javascripts/my_script.js”></script>
</script>
that will not work.
The work-around is;
[if you are using mootools.js for making ajax calls] / for other frame-works, check how to set ‘evalScripts’ param
1) First step is to, add
“evalScripts: true” param
(E.g)
new Ajax(url, {
method: ‘get’,
update: $(’content’),
evalScripts: true
}).request();
2) Then in the div, make the javascript look like;
<script type=”text/javascript”>
new Asset.javascript(’/javascripts/my_script.js’);
</script>
(or)
Load the javascript dynamically like this; [if 'Asset.javascript' is not supported]
<script id=”external_script” type=”text/JavaScript”></script>
<script>
document.getElementById(’external_script’).src = ‘/javascripts/my_script.js’;
</script>
