I've got a script that inserts some content into an element using innerHTML.

The content could for example be:

<script type="text/javascript">alert('test');</script>
<strong>test</strong>

Problem is that the code inside the <script> tag doesn't get executed. I googled it a bit but there were no apparent solutions. If I inserted the content using jQuery $(element).append(content);the script parts got eval'd before being injected into the DOM.

Has anyone got a snippet of code that executes all the <script> elements? The jQuery code was a bit complex so I couldn't really figure out how it was done.
