A:
You should do it like so
var script=document.createElement('script');
script.type='text/javascript';
script.src=url;
$("body").append(script);

@Christian, getScript works with external hosts!

Can I ask why would you not use a jQuery based solution when you are using jQuery? getScript will work, you should try it. lol

A:
The error is in the selector:
$("body").append("<script>alert('hello world');<\/script>");
Note that you have to escape the unallowed characters in the appended string.
