History.html

<html>
<head><title>History Page</title></head>
<body>
<div id="History">
<p> History Page </p>
<SCRIPT language="javascript">
document.write("History Page");
</SCRIPT>
</div>
</body>
</html>

The Script works great. i am able to get the History.HTML Loaded perfectly under Div=GetDiv but i am unable to execute or run the Script under history.html page when its loaded under div.

Script on history.html page works well if opened in a new browser i.e. http://localhost/history.html

My main idea is to execute the script under history page and display it under GetDiv

Please Help !!!

had the same problem before. on firefox, opera, safari the script will be execute but IE! you have to read the content of script tag and eval it. that was my solution long ago
