Do you *generate* the HTML dynamically, or is it a static file? If you generate it dynamically on your server, you can wrap the script inside a function whose name comes from the query string. Then in JavaScript, each time you start an ajax download, generate a unique function name and pass that name up to the server in the query string. Then in the success callback, call that function and pass it an argument with your context.
This is similar to the JSONP technique used in my old JSON plugin [1] and other similar JSONP implementations. I'm not sure what to suggest if the HTML is a static file. -Mike [1] http://mg.to/2006/01/25/json-for-jquery > From: Ryan > > I have the following file loaded by calling $.ajax > > <div>This html is loaded dynamically > <script> > alert('Script executed from the loaded sample'); </script> </div> > > The script executes fine and the callback from $.ajax works. > My issue is that I would like the loaded script to attach to > the object that loaded it.
