70169 - Changes to src component of SCRIPT-Tag do not load the new script

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 70168

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Georg Maaß]

Changes to src component of SCRIPT-Tag do not load the new script:

<script id="myScriptTag" type="text/javascript" src="test1.js"></script>


sc=document.getElementById('myScriptTag');
alert('test1.js was here...);
sc.src='test2.js';


alert('test2.js was here...);
function test2F(){};

This changes the content of the src property correctly, but the new script file
is not loaded or at least not parsed. I.e. test2F is not defined, the alert ist
not displayed. With IE (tested with IE5.5) this works well.
