Script tags and Meteor

help
1

I’m using embedly and I want to insert the html returned into a template. Most of the time it works but if the html has a script tag then Meteor doesn’t render it and everything falls apart. Anyway around this?

I guess this is blasphemy against Meteor’s principals but I have no way to know what kind of script I need until I do the api request. I could rewrite the wntire embedly api using Meteor but let’s be real - I couldn’t.

i dont know embedly but to insert plain html or plain strings into the dom use {{{ }}} instead if {{ }} but this is a very insecure way.

a second way would be to manualy create a dom element with js and set it up.
for more info look at that: https://developer.mozilla.org/de/docs/Web/API/Document/createElement

Can you post an example of your code?

FYI I’ve fallback on jquery script loading http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3857874/how-to-dynamically-insert-a-script-tag-via-jquery-after-page-load if the embed api presents a script to load i extract the source out of it.
