Dynamically generated JavaScript

[portalguy123]

Hello Experts,

I am working on an AJAX application and I get a response back from the url which populates a div which has both HTML as well as JavaScript code , I need to extract the javascript from the response and set in the parent documnet's head tag so as to be able to acees the javascript in a global context.I use the following code to do so

extractAndProcess = function(windowObj,n){

    var re = /<script[\s\S]*?>([\s\S]*?)<\/scr/igm;
    var result = '';
    var match; 
    while (match = re.exec(responseString)) { 
     //document.write(match[1]);
     //eval(match[1]);
     result += match[1]; 
     //alert ('The match is '+match[1]);
   }
   
   alert('The result is '+result);
    
   var head = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
   script = document.createElement('script');
   script.id = 'uploadScript';
   script.type = 'text/javascript';
   script.src = result;
   head.appendChild(script);
   
   alert('The set script is '+   document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].value);
   populateEmailids(windowObj,n);
}

But when I print the value of teh head element I get a null back , can you please let me know where I might be wrong.

Thanks in Advance!!

getElementsByTagName is a method of XML DOM. I think you want getElementsByName.

This is a cross-post of this thread: thread216-1295925. Please stick with one thread (presumably the one in the JS forum, as it appears to be more of a JS problem).

NB: It is "getElementsByTagName" you require.
