ScriptElement.setInnerText doesn't take effect

[David]

I use GWT to process <script/>, change its contents and set new content through ScriptElement.setInnerText() method. But new change doesn't take effect. I don't know why. Please help me out.

Thanks,

David.

Hello,

AFAICT there's a chance that you have to use .setText instead of .setInnerText. 

That said, can i ask you what is the purpose of modifying the script content of a script tag ?

Does this work across browsers? What happens on the previous code?

I always thougt that the current best practice was 'page reload'.

Original web site only runs in IE8. I have to convert document.all tag for Chrome or IOS on fly. I can not get access to source codes and I need to keep all functions by replacing IE8-related tags so I need any change in ScriptElement can take effect immediately.

If it is inline script (no src attribute) then I think that is not possible with JavaScript and thus not possible with GWT. Inline JavaScript is executed immediately / synchronous during page load. I think won't execute again when you change it using innerHTML.

I guess you would need to use a proxy server that modifies the files before you send it to the browser.
