Add Javascript into a DOM

Question

Have any advice. Why I can not add the javascript into a DOM?

var strScript = "<script type='text/javascript'></script>";
$("#someElement").append(strScript);

It doesn't do much, but that works just fine in my browser (using `body` instead of `#someElement`). — sczizzo, Jun 14 '12 at 16:35
Why are you trying to append a script tag into the DOM instead of simply calling a function when you want something to be executed? — Ben Roux, Jun 14 '12 at 16:36

See this post. The top-rated comment does a stand-up job of going through what works and why.

You can always do

document.write('\x3Cscript src="your-jsfile.js" type="text/javascript" >\x3C/script>');

use `document.body.innerHMTL += str` instead of `document.write( str );document.close();` – Larry Battle Jun 14 '12 at 16:47
