it's not working. well eval(responseText); don't works.
cells = divResult.getElementsByTagName("script"); alert(cells.length); for (var i = 0; i < cells.length; i++) { alert(cells[i].innerHTML); eval(cells[i].innerHTML); } sometesting(5); is working. but when the function sometesting() being called somewhere from ajaxresponse text, browser gives error. both ie and firefox.
