Here is a method that recursively replaces all scripts with executable ones:
function nodeScriptReplace(node) {
if ( nodeScriptIs(node) === true ) {
node.parentNode.replaceChild( nodeScriptClone(node) , node );
}
else {
var i = -1, children = node.childNodes;
while ( ++i < children.length ) {
nodeScriptReplace( children[i] );
}
}
return node;
}
function nodeScriptClone(node){
var script = document.createElement("script");
script.text = node.innerHTML;
var i = -1, attrs = node.attributes, attr;
while ( ++i < attrs.length ) {
script.setAttribute( (attr = attrs[i]).name, attr.value );
}
return script;
}
function nodeScriptIs(node) {
return node.tagName === 'SCRIPT';
}
Example call:
nodeScriptReplace(document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0]);
