Simplified ES6 version of @joshcomley's answer with an example.
No JQuery, No library, No eval, No DOM change, Just pure Javascript.
function setInnerHTML(elm, html) {
elm.innerHTML = html;
Array.from(elm.querySelectorAll("script"))
.forEach( oldScriptEl => {
const newScriptEl = document.createElement("script");
Array.from(oldScriptEl.attributes).forEach( attr => {
newScriptEl.setAttribute(attr.name, attr.value)
});
const scriptText = document.createTextNode(oldScriptEl.innerHTML);
newScriptEl.appendChild(scriptText);
oldScriptEl.parentNode.replaceChild(newScriptEl, oldScriptEl);
});
}
Usage
$0.innerHTML = HTML; // does *NOT* run <script> tags in HTML
setInnerHTML($0, HTML); // does run <script> tags in HTML
