I have an issue that I initially thought was a jQuery problem, but after simplifying things in preparation for posting my question, I see that it's a fundamental javascript matter. I don't understand why this works: http://pastebin.com/m3a767745 but this doesn't: http://pastebin.com/m346451b4 Note that the "external.js" file is just a single alert statement.
What I'm trying to do (with javascript) is create a <script> element, place it inside a particular element and execute it. Thanks, -Rob
