I have read many of the articles on using jquery to find and append. I have been successful at doing this on other projects, but mostly appending to a div element. I need to append to javascript on the page that unfortunately I don't have core access to.

Existing JS:

<div class="widget">
 <script type="text/javascript">
      var widget37 = new VideoWidget("VideoCanvas",                            
     "divVideoCanvas37", "DS37");
      widgetVideoCanvas37.SetWidth("630");
      widgetVideoCanvas37.SetHeight("355");
      widgetVideoCanvas37.SetVariable("isMute", "false");
      widgetVideoCanvas37.RenderWidget();
  </script>
 </div>

Before the RenderWidget, I need to add 

 widgetVideoCanvas37.SetVariable("isAutoStart", "true");

I've tried something like this:

$( "widgetVideoCanvasDS37.RenderWidget()" ).prepend( "<p>Test</p>" );

but it does appear to be working. Maybe prepend isn't the best way to do this. Thanks in advance for the help!

    This feels very sketchy overall. Why don't you just set the variable with your script, instead of trying to append it to the DOM? – random_user_name Jul 31 '15 at 17:16
  • Just to clarify, there is a limitation from our core CMS. I have access to adding my own code that is called after their core code. I can't get their developers to fix what I want, as quick as I need it done, hence why I am trying to to do it myself. – Joey Martin Jul 31 '15 at 17:54

The element would be selected like $('script').appened('blah'); But i feel that that probably won't or shouldn't work. That be a very large security flaw if i was able to run my own script locally to append JavaScript to the script element of another page that i don't have core access to.
