You may take a look at this post. The code might look like this:
var actualDivToBeUpdated = document.getElementById('test');
var div = document.createElement('div');
div.innerHTML = '<script type="text/javascript">alert("test");<\/script>';
var children = div.childNodes;
actualDivToBeUpdated.innerHTML = '';
for(var i = 0; i < children.length; i++) {
actualDivToBeUpdated.appendChild(children[i]);
}
