Question

What is the use of SRC in JavaScript syntax?

Answer 1

I want to use a javascript variable as a 'src' attribute for another tag on the same jsp.

<script>
var link = mylink // the link is generated based on some code
</script>
I want to create this new element as shown below.

<script src="mylink">
</script>
On searching various forums, I have tried using the following options but they don't seem to work. I want this thing to work on all major browsers.

Put this code in the first element.

var script = document.createElement("script");
script.type = "text/javascript";
script.src = "path/to/somelink";
document.body.appendChild(script);
Use document write method in the first element.

document.write("<script type='text/javascript' src="+ google.com + "><\/script>");
Tried to set a JSTL Variable in the first element and use it.
