Hi,
Where was that HTML? Because if it was in the page you're *loading*,
it still uses a script tag to reference an external file
(prototype.js) and then using things from it ($$).
If the things you're loading are under your control, provide a
`loadScript` function in your main page (that actually does the work,
as from the wiki page) that they can use like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
loadScript("MyexternalScriptFile.js");
</script>
That inline script in the fragment loaded by Ajax.Updater will get
executed by `evalScripts`. Since it's executed in the context of your
page with your `loadScript` function, it has access to it, and the
external file gets loaded.
HTH,
