Details
When a script element is created and attached to the DOM, it is not executed.
Example:
<html>
<head>
<title>dom</title>
<script language=javascript>
function script(){
var myScript = document.createElement("script");
myScript.setAttribute("id", "myScriptElement");
myScript.setAttribute("language", "javascript");
myScript.text = "alert('testing');";
document.documentElement.firstChild.appendChild( myScript );
}
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body id=mybody>
<a href="javascript:script()">Create</a>
</body>
</html>
When the link is clicked, an alert should be displayed. In IE this works.

I belief this is a dup of bug 18843, "dynamically added SCRIPT not executable"
You may want to look at these two bugs for additional information.
1 - "Cannot dynamically load in external script files and stylesheets" bug 55560
2 - "document.written HTML element not available to external script" bug 63423
