jQuery .load() not executing script tags in dynamic content loaded from a JSON endpoint
I'm integrating two systems and I'm working through a tutorial and I've been banging my head against this for hours..... I've been banging my head against this for hours... I'm using jQuery to dynamically load HTML content from a JSON endpoint and inject it into a div using the `.load()` method, but I’ve noticed that the script tags within the loaded HTML aren’t being executed. My intention is to load content that includes a script which initializes a chart, but it seems like the scripts are simply being treated as plain text. Here’s a simplified version of my code: ```javascript $.getJSON('/api/content', function(data) { $('#dynamicContainer').load(data.html); }); ``` The `data.html` contains something like this: ```html <div> <h2>Chart Title</h2> <canvas id='myChart'></canvas> <script> var ctx = document.getElementById('myChart').getContext('2d'); var myChart = new Chart(ctx, { type: 'bar', data: { labels: ['Red', 'Blue', 'Yellow'], datasets: [{ label: '# of Votes', data: [12, 19, 3], backgroundColor: ['rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)', 'rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.2)', 'rgba(255, 206, 86, 0.2)'], borderColor: ['rgba(255, 99, 132, 1)', 'rgba(54, 162, 235, 1)', 'rgba(255, 206, 86, 1)'], borderWidth: 1 }] }, options: { scales: { y: { beginAtZero: true } } } }); </script> </div> ``` However, the chart doesn't render, and I see no errors in the console. I tried wrapping the script in a function and calling it after the load, but that didn’t work either. Is there a way to make jQuery execute the scripts within the loaded content, or do I need to handle this differently? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'm using jQuery version 3.6.0 and Chart.js version 2.9.4. This is part of a larger CLI tool I'm building. Is there a better approach? This issue appeared after updating to Javascript 3.9. I appreciate any insights! Am I approaching this the right way? I'm open to any suggestions.
