Get JS Variable in Ajax Response

Question

I have an ajax response which returns html and javascript as follows:

<div class="contents">
  <div>1</div>
  <script>
    var test = "test";
  </script>
</div>

How can I access the variable test?

You inject the response into the page, then access the `test` variable. — Matt, Jun 04 '14 at 18:37
No way around inserting it? Seems like wasted performance if my variable is large. — Envious, Jun 04 '14 at 18:38
Due to some template limitations it isn't possible to return the response as json. — Envious, Jun 04 '14 at 18:41

Append the response in some temp div, get the value from variable and remove the div.

$("<div id='dvTemp'></div>").html(AjaxResponse).appendTo("body");
alert(test);
$("#dvTemp").remove();
