Hi,

`evalJS` tells Prototype not to evaluate JSON, not scripts.[1]
Ajax.Request doesn't evaluate script tags at all. Ajax.Updater will,
unless you pass it the `evalScripts: false` option.[2] If you're using
Ajax.Request, the only way I'm seeing script tags get processed is if
you then use that content with Element#update.[3] Element#update will
process all of the tags you feed to it, including script tags. You can
strip them out of your response before feeding them to Element#update
by using String#stripScripts.[4]
