Executing Javascript inside JavaScript.

Hi All,

I have a situation to execute a javascript dynamically by calling a function. The script is some what like this

<script src=”http://www.surveymonkey.com/jsPop.aspx?sm=jkjkjkjfddsafkjsfaldflsdfasdf”></script>.

If we paste this javascript inside the body of a webpage a survey window will popup when the web page is loaded. But I want to call this script inside a javascript function like

function callSurvey(){
//Execute the script on function call.
}

and trigger this function during unload event.

Is this feasible to execute javascript inside javascript functions. If so can any one provide some sample code snippets. Thanks in advance

Regards
Jacob

@MikeOSJun 30.2008 — I'm not 100% certain what your problem is but if you want to call the script during a page unload just use the onunload event in the body tag like so:

...

function callSurvey(){

//Execute the script on function call.

}

</script>

</head>

<body onunload="callSurvey()">

...

Hope this is what you mean but if not can you clarify?

Thanks

@Declan1991Jun 30.2008 — You will probably have to write the script to the page, if you want to be able to call it. Something like:<i>
</i>function callSurvey(){
var s = document.createElement("script");
s.type="text/javascript";
s.src="http://www.surveymonkey.com/jsPop.aspx?sm=jkjkjkjfddsafkjsfaldflsdfasdf";
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(s);
}
I'm not 100% certain will that work cross-browser, I just cannot think of the bug that relates to script elements at the moment.
