Preserving the <script> tag when defining HTML code

During an AJAX call, I am receiving plain HTML with some JavaScript code. When I try to display this response in a container using .html (jQuery) or innerHTML (plain JavaScript), it removes the <script> tag and all JavaScript code.

However, when I change 

<script type="text/javascript">
to <script type="text/xml">, it preserves all script tags and JavaScript. Unfortunately, the script does not execute and even alert and console.log statements do not work inside it.

Can someone please advise me on how I can keep the <script> tag and JavaScript without changing the type attribute?

Thank you
