I am using AJAX to load content into a section of my website. I would like the content that is loaded in to execute some javaScript. However, when i simply include it in the response, it doesn't get evaluated.
Say i request a page, test.htm. That page includes ONLY the following code:
<script language="javaScript">
function testFunction(){
alert("HELLO WORLD");
}
testFunction();
</script>Should this function not execute, and alert "Hello world?"

No the function will not execute. If you want that to run the script you will need to call a function after your response to "eval" the script for you.
Your new function will need to find and execute the script in the DOM.
pseudo code below
//put your response in a div or something and use the div id to grab the tag with a name = to script
divId.getElementsByTagName("script")
loop...
eval(script.innerHTML)Running this after you response will run all the scripts on your page.
