There's another solution. Have a look at 
<http://liorean.web-graphics.com/bookmarklets/bookmarklet.js>, which is 
the method I use in my bookmarklets to load external JavaScripts.

In iem you'll ahve to write the source of the script tag to an element. 
In iew you can create one dynamically using the DOM.

No, not into this, I'm afraid. Dynamic reparsing is something all 
browsers have been earlier or are currently bad at. Even Mozilla.
