88318 - script evaluation only happens when a SCRIPT element is first attached to a document tree

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 26790

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

Description

[Bob Clary [:bc] (inactive)]

The specific problem is that script evaluation only happens when a SCRIPT
element is first attached to a document tree. Setting the SRC attribute
dynamically doesn't trigger loading and evaluation. 

How to reproduce:

Create a Script Element dynamically and attach it to the HTML Document via
appendChild, then set SRC attribute to point to a script file.

Expected Behavior:  Script Loads and Runs.
Actual Behavior:    Script Does Not Load.
Reproducible:       Always.

Note that setting the SRC attribute before attaching the script element to the
document will load and run the script.
