script evaluation not working properly in ie6

[db]

While using this function:

$.ajax({

type: "POST", url: page, data: args, dataType: "html", ... etc.

I found that ie6 does not evaluate any scripting included in the returned data.

like: --snip--

<script type="text/javascript">alert('loading!');</script><h1>some other html</h1>

--snip--

fails completely in ie6 (6.0.2900.2180). This script evaluation does happen with other browsers; just not ie6.

-Thanks

Apparently IE6/7 can't correctly evaluate the regexp in find method to locate the script tags. So I've coded a temporary workaround, to be called after DOM is updated.

function extractScripts(data) {

if ($.browser.msie) {

var re = new RegExp?('<script[^{>]*>([\\S\\s]*?)<\/script>','im'); var rs = data.match(/<script[}>]*>([\S\s]*?)<\/script>/img);

var parse = $.map(rs, function(tag) {

return re.exec(tag).pop();

});

$(parse).each(function(k,v) {

jQuery.globalEval(v);

});

}

}
