(before i start i'd like to apologize for my complete ignorance of
javascript.
if there's a javascript master out there, then please feel free to jump in)
i've run your code and ecs is performing as i'd expected.

if i understand you correctly...
i think the problem is that you expect ecs to do too much :)
ecs is just generates correctly formatted text from the object model.
the setSrc method simply sets the src attribute - it doesn't do anything
fancy like loading files. if you want the contents of the file to be
outputted between <!- //-> you'll need to load the contents of the file in
question yourself - and then add an element containing them.
