I want to create a script tag by jQuery.
I use the following code:
$("<body>").append("<script></script>");
It doesn't work. What will you do to achieve it?

I'm just interested: why would you do that? You're already running JavaScript code, so why do you need another block?Kobi– Kobi2009-07-29 11:48:12 +00:00Commented Jul 29, 2009 at 11:48

You should do it like so
var script=document.createElement('script');
script.type='text/javascript';
script.src=url;
$("body").append(script);

Can I ask why would you not use a jQuery based solution when you are using jQuery? getScript will work, you should try it. lol
To load from a url:
$("body").append($("<script />", {
src: url
}))
To load from existing source code:
$("body").append($("<script />", {
html: code
}))

Why are you not using jQuery.getScript(url,[callback])?

This should be a comment rather than an answer, or it should at least be written as an answer rather than as a question. It's not clearly certain that
getScript() can do everything that's possible with creating script tags. And if it is, the answer would be much better if it actually stated that.This can help, who end up here after 8 years
$('<script>alert("hi");</' + 'script>').appendTo(body);
The only reason you can't do $('<script></script>') is because the string isn't allowed inside javascript because the DOM layer can't parse what's js and what's html.
