evalScripts() execute javascript twice with inline script from ajax data in Firefox

[Lasiaf]

Whe I try to load an external page with an inline script, firefox evaluates the script but IE dont. so my solution is put evalScripts() at the appended data, the it works in IE but it executes twice in firefox. Sample Code

		$.post("getsomething.php",{test:1},
			function(data){
				$("#mainPane").append(data).evalScripts();
			}
		)

getsomething.php

IMPORTANT DATA TO BE APPENDED
<script> 
alert("Hello World"); 
$("#txt1").val("NEW VAR DATA");
</script>

---

Whats happening is Firefox is evaluating the new appended data then evaluates it again using evalScripts()

is there a way to call evalScripts in $.html $.append when I use it in IE and if its firefox not to call evalScripts()

[joern]

A rather ugly workaround would be a manuel append using html. It's still unclear why append evaluate scripts at all, that behaviour was introduced in some of the later jQuery versions.

So if I use the old versions it should just work fine?
