[jQuery] Executing javascript that comes inside an AJAX response

[Foreigner]

Hi,
I'm trying to use jQuery to get some HTML with Javascript using AJAX.
My response gets inserted into the contentDiv element but my
javascript inside the response doesn't get executed as the
documentation says (http://docs.jquery.com/
Specifying_the_Data_Type_for_AJAX_Requests).

Here goes my function with AJAX call:

function loadHtml(obj)
{
        if(obj.className == "menuItem")
        {
                $.ajax({
                                 type:"GET",
                                 url:"content/" + obj.id + ".html",
                                 dataType: "html",
                                 success:
                                         function(data, status)
                                         {
                                                  contentDiv.innerHTML = data;
                                         }
                                });
        }
}


My response looks like:

<h3>Some heading</h3>
<script type="text/javascript">

//Some javascript code

</script>
