🛠️ Addressing .load Function Error: Auto-Removing Script Tag

Thank you for bringing attention to this issue! The problem with the .load function encountering errors when loading HTML with auto-removing script tags is crucial. This occurs due to the script tags being automatically stripped during the loading process, causing unexpected behavior.

Issue Summary

The current behavior leads to errors and may not handle the situation gracefully. Here's a suggested workaround to mitigate the problem:

Workaround

$("#targetElement").load("your.html", function(response, status, xhr) {
    if (status == "error") {
        // Handle error here, maybe log or alert
        console.error("Error loading HTML:", xhr.statusText);
    } else {
        // Success logic
        console.log("HTML loaded successfully!");

        // Your additional logic here, if needed
    }
});

Explanation

The provided snippet includes an error-handling mechanism to manage cases where loading encounters issues. The status parameter in the callback function can be utilized to check for errors. If an error occurs, it logs the details using console.error. On successful loading, the success logic is executed.

Proposed Resolution

It would be beneficial for the .load function to handle scenarios with auto-removing script tags more gracefully. This could involve providing an option to suppress automatic removal or offering a more informative error handling approach.
Looking forward to the community's thoughts on this and a potential resolution to enhance the reliability of the .load function in such scenarios. 👍
