So, we can use 

jQuery.ajax({
  success: function(result){}
});

to make an Ajax request, and get the result.

Now, I found out that you can't select anything inside the head tag of the result. this simply fails:

jQuery( 'script', result )

but I can select div's and such. Why? How to get around this?

I've been trying to use RegEx for this with no luck for hours. This should work but I don't know why it doesn't: <script>([^<\/script>])<\/script> which should select from script tag until it reaches the end of it. No luck with this either: <script>([.+]) it returns nothing.

The proper way to get scripts is to use $.getScript() I say this only because it's the proper way to execute function after page has loaded.

jQuery.getScript() - official page
