I'm having a problem when I use appendChild() to append a <script> tag where the javascript referenced in the new script tag is not run. In Firebug I get a notification which says "Reload the page to get source" but if I reload the JS will be appendChild again.

Here is my code:

var divAd = document.createElement("div");
divAd.innerHTML = '<script src="http:example/adenseload.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>';
titleBak.appendChild(divAd);

How can I use the appended JS after using appendChild()?

Thanks for your answer.

Don't wrap it in a div, create the script tag directly. This worked for me:

var scriptTag = document.createElement("script");
scriptTag.src = "http://example./myscript.js";
bodyTag.appendChild(scriptTag);

You have to use below statement to load JS,

document.write('<script src="', 'http:example./adenseload.js', '" type="text/JavaScript"><\/script>');.

you can append HTMLobjects only to the DIV, Not script tags
