JQuery mobile load external script

Question

I have the following page in a jQuery mobile site:

<div data-role="page" id="myPage">
   <script type="text/javascript">alert("test");</script>
   <script src="https://someexternalscript.js"></script>
</div>

The first script tag, with the script contained in it, is evaluated properly. Every time I navigate to the page, an alert is shown. The second script tag however, is only evaluated when I navigate the browser directly to this page. When I navigate through the site itself, it isn't being evaluated. I noticed with Fiddler that the source is being downloaded, it just doesn't seem to be evaluated.

Any ideas what could be causing this, and how it could be resovled?

Isn't that what the page role is about? Only show /run the stuff defined within the page? — user1600124

That's fair enough. But in my case the javascript actually defines (most of) the content of the page. And I can't really change that because it's a third-party product. — PJanssen

script tag is is not self closing tag, so you need to close it using </script>

Ah yes, little mistake when writing this question. My code did have it closed properly. So that's not it :)

@PJanssen well i thought that was the problem, but other problem might be same domain origin problem as you can not load different domain content

I have considered that too. But then why would it work fine when I refresh the page or navigate there directly with the browser?

@PJanssen that the policy dude...you can access it from same domain but from other domain you need some auth_tokens

I'm not navigating to the location of the javascript, but to the location of the page. So it's still loading from a different domain, and working! But only when navigating directly to the specific page through the browser.
