Can a src attribute be added to a script tag after onload? 1

[simon373]

Hi,

I am trying to retrieve a variable from an xml document and pass it to a script tag src attribute using DOM setAttribute. The variable is not retrieved until the onload event, so the script will already have run once with no src attribute.

var photourl = response.getElementsByTagName("photourl")[id].firstChild.data;
var photourlelement = document.getElementById("photourlholder");
photourlelement.setAttribute("src",photourl);

<script id="photourlholder" language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"></script>

When I do this I don't get any error message, but the script does not appear to run. Any suggestions please?

Many thanks

Simon

I looked over that post. I don't like document.write to much heres a page that shows you how to use dom to append src tag.
