Is there a way to trigger inline javascript execution inside some div from jquery?

Question

I have some container on a page with inline javascript. Is there a way to trigger its execution once again after it was initially triggered automatically on a page load?

<div id="mydiv">
    <script type='text/javascript'>alert("trigger me again");</script>
</div>

Answer 1

You could assign it to a function and set a timer event ... There are two types of timers in javascript (setTimeout and setInterval). However, there are also some jQuery libs for event timers.

Answer 2

You need to make a function:

<script type='text/javascript'>
function doSomething() {
    alert("trigger me again");
}
doSomething();  //Call the function immediately
</script>

You can then call the function again somewhere else:

doSomething();

Answer 3

What I would do is make that inline javascript call be a function. Then you can call that function over and over after the page load.

Answer 4

You could try:

eval($('script', $('#mydiv')).text());

Just a thought

Answer 5

I guess you can select your element and then eval() the code inside.

Something like :

$('script').each(
   function() {
      eval($(this).text());
   }
);
