Injecting javascript into dom, from javascript

Question

I'm trying to inject a script into the DOM but the script is not actually ran. What am I doing wrong? The console.log is not executed.

document.getElementById('container').innerHTML = '<div class="x"><script type="application/javascript">console.log("a");</script></div>';

Why do you need to do this? And give a demo so that we can easily figure out the problem — Gibbs, Apr 23 '15 at 10:37
Did you try this? : `document.getElementById('container').innerHTML = '
'; document.getElementById('x').innerHTML = '';` — Hkidd, Apr 23 '15 at 10:39

You can use eval() method to run dynamic scripts. But it is not recommended to run script dynamically due to security issues.
