How about cut and paste...? What are you trying to accomplish exactly? — JAL

You are basically doing asynchronous script loading which is (in most cases) a great thing.

Here's how offical Google Maps documentation says it should be done:

function loadScript() {
  var script = document.createElement('script');
  script.type = 'text/javascript';
  script.src = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&' +
      'callback=initialize';
  document.body.appendChild(script);
}

window.onload = loadScript;

And here is the link: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/map-simple-async

So what you need is a regular HTML tag that you would put into the <head> of your HTML, but instead of putting it there at the beginning (as a "blocking" script) you are loading it dynamically by appending it to the <head>. Then the browser will have to download your file and parse/execute it.

This technique is widely used in so called AMD (Asynchronous Module Definition) systems, like RequireJS.

An option if you want to load one file into another one "on the fly":

$.get("login.js").then(function(data){
    var sc = document.createElement('script');
    sc.innerHTML = data;
    document.getElementById('results').appendChild(sc);
});
