Do you have any examples of this? I've tried this in the past and
it's worked, so I'm not entirely sure what's going wrong.

I know that the Ruby On Rails guys have the same problem, but they do
some crazy Javascript parsing to make it work (the look through the
incoming html for <script>...</script> tags, grab the Javascript, and
execute it dynamically). You'll want to search around for info on
script, prototype, and ruby on rails - for more info.

Nice! I'm looking forward to seeing it.
