Notice you are using jQuery have you made sure you added the jQuery lib correctly ? Are you getting any errors in the console? — Frederick M. Rogers, Jan 19 '17 at 09:13
What do mean "not working"? You simply need to ESCAPE "/" of closing tags `<\/script>` — Tien, Jan 19 '17 at 09:13
Your code is correct as I have tested it is appending the script to the body but it is not able to access `https://content.jwplatform.com/libraries/xyz.js` so in console it is showing ***jwplayer is not defined***. Try to give the correct url — Suhail Akhtar, Jan 19 '17 at 09:15

ESCAPE the "/" of closing tags

<script>
    dialogFun();
            function dialogFun(){

                var code = "<div style='font-size: 12px' id='dialog'>"+
                "<script src='https://content.jwplatform.com/libraries/xyz.js'><\/script>"+
                "<div id='jwplyr'>Loading the player...</div>"+
                "<script type='text/javascript'>jwplayer('jwplyr').setup({'file': 'http://content.jwplatform.com/videos/xyz-lusPHdHK.mp4','image':'http://content.jwplatform.com/thumbs/xyz-320.jpg'});<\/script><\/div>";


                console.log(code);
                $( "body" ).append( code );
            }
</script>

Should you always escape closing tags or is this a special case ? – Frederick M. Rogers Jan 19 '17 at 09:15
