Yes, but how do I assign it to: document.getElementById('ID').innerHTML ? – Jul 26 '13 at 16:15
why do you need to assign it to this certain element? scripts should be in the head.. – gezzuzz Jul 26 '13 at 16:19
Because the script outputs some text (and this text should be placed in the body). So I need a way to assign it to a variable, for example:

If you're trying to append the script inside the DOM as a string, you have to do something like this :

var script = '<script src="http://domain.com/external.php"></scr'+'ipt>';
document.getElementById('ID').innerHTML = script;

the closing script tag will cause issues in parsing when inserted as a string because it closes the current script, concatenation will solve that.
