[Javascript] Callback to script-tag from included script?

[Hakan Magnusson (Backbase)]

Hi Peter,

The goal is to read attributes from the script tag itself. I am actually 
free to add (some) attributes (non-html if I wish) to the script tag, 
but nothing else.

I think you got it head on here. The location of the included script is 
exactly what I want. ANY property would be even better, but if this can 
be accomplished, I'm happy for now.

I'm thinking about adding an id to the script tag, and then using 
document.getElementById(), since I think that would work on all targeted 
browsers. This is a far more ugly looking solution that I had hoped for, 
  but my initial experiments gave me nothing.

Regards,
H
