I encountered a similar issue in the past with an external file not executing properly.
To resolve this, I opted to dynamically load the file by creating the element in JavaScript and linking to it using the .src attribute instead of relying on a script tag in the HTML. Should I follow a similar approach in this case?
Here is the JavaScript code snippet that needs to be executed, which is inserted via .innerHTML of the body. Currently, it remains inactive on my page. Pay attention to the JSON data being passed as the second parameter to the set function. This data is constructed in PHP and sent to the client using AJAX POST.
<script type='text/javascript'>new Arc.Shared().set( 'tweet_data', [{"id":"1","0":"1","picture":"0","1":"0","name":"Test Account","2":"Test Account","tweet":"Hi","3":"Hi","time":"1338559048","4":"1338559048"},{"id":"1","0":"1","picture":"0","1":"0","name":"Test Account","2":"Test Account","tweet":"hi","3":"hi","time":"1338558809","4":"1338558809"},{"id":"1","0":"1","picture":"0","1":"0","name":"Test Account","2":"Test Account","tweet":"<a class=\"bookmark_tweet\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/ebay.com\">ebay <\/a>","3":"<a class=\"bookmark_tweet\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/ebay.com\">ebay <\/a>","time":"1338504456","4":"1338504456"},{"id":"1","0":"1","picture":"0","1":"0","name":"Test Account","2":"Test Account","tweet":"foo","3":"foo","time":"1338504225","4":"1338504225"},{"id":"1","0":"1","picture":"0","1":"0","name":"Test Account","2":"Test Account","tweet":"foo","3":"foo","time":"1338504222","4":"1338504222"},{"id":"1","0":"1","picture":"0","1":"0","name":"Test Account","2":"Test Account","tweet":"foo","3":"foo","time":"1338504220","4":"1338504220"},{"id":"1","0":"1","picture":"0","1":"0","name":"Test Account","2":"Test Account","tweet":"foo","3":"foo","time":"1338504217","4":"1338504217"}] );</script>
Additional Points:
Another way to avoid using eval:
var myCode = 'alert("Hey there?");';
var myFucn = new Function(myCode);
myFucn();
