    text
    copied!<p>I have the same issue as here:</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1659749/script-tag-in-javascript-string">Script tag in JavaScript string</a></p> <p>However I can not resolve the issue with the proposed solutions. I'm using datatables plugin for jquery. I tried different solutions from above thread but none work. I get a "$ is not defined" error.If I set var html to like "test" it works fine. The script in the String inserts a ActiveX control (IE) or plugin (FF) and displays data from database. In below code the var html somehow breaks the script:</p> <pre><code>function( nRow, aData, iDisplayIndex, iDisplayIndexFull ) { var dataURL = "'data:chemical/smiles," + aData[0] + "'"; var html = '&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;' + 'cd_insertObject("chemical/x-daylight-smiles", 182, 172,' + '"CDCtrl' + iDisplayIndexFull + '","","True","False","True",' + 'dataurl='+ dataURL + ');&lt;/scr' + 'ipt&gt;'; $('td:eq(0)', nRow).html(html); // here $ causes an error return nRow; } </code></pre> <p>Note that I also tried to escape all &lt; and > also in the opening script tag. Same issue. Any ideas how to solve?</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Found solution but can't answer my own question so here it is:</p> <p>jQuerys .html() function strips away script tags. I found that in the comments the documentation for .html().</p> <p>Another issue is that the 3rd party function cd_insertObject uses document.write().</p> <p>My solution was to copy+paste cd_insertObject but instead of using document write i return a string and then i put this string in </p> <pre><code>$('td:eq(0)', nRow).html(html); </code></pre>
