Shouldn't be hard at all to have a hidden div prepared. After the text area is changed put the script in the div (getelementbyid) and show the div. I don't think you need ajax for that. You could certainly write it in jQuery syntax but any old javascript should do that. I've never tested it but I think it should work unless there is some issue with the script you are pasting.
