title: Can I store javascript in a Local Storage Object and run it?
body: <p>Let me explain. I'm developing a javascript application to help people develop websites. I wont explicitly go into what it does, just know that it works by superimposing its html/inline css interface over the website that's being developed and offers a variety of tools such as tracing images and code minifiers.</p>
  
  <p>I have it stored on a server as a .js file. All people have to do to access my application is copy and paste a small bit of html onto their page to use it, like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script src="www.example.com/application.js"&gt;
  &lt;div class="application"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The html and inline css of the interface is then inserted into the 'application' div using jquery's .html() function.</p>
  
  <p>It all works perfectly. </p>
  
  <p>Apart from one thing. The load time. As a user develops their site they will be continually refreshing their page, and this results them having to wait about 3 seconds (very annoying as time goes on) for the application's interface to load.</p>
  
  <p>Of course, if the browser's cache is turned on, the problem dissappears, but if you're developing a site you're going to want to have your cache disabled! It's a conundrum.</p>
  
  <p>Then I thought to use local storage objects to hold strings of the interface' svg graphics, and then .html() these strings into inline css. It's an elabourate workaround, but only developers would use this tool. It isn't an end user thing. And it works beautifully too, but the thing is, the browser still needs to download the script in-order to know to access the locally stored images! Processor speed isn't bottlenecking it, it's bandwidth.</p>
  
  <p>So I was thinking storing the script itself in a local storage object, and having a tiny initialisation script to run it.</p>
  
  <p>The initialisation script would simply retrieve the script from the local stroage object as a string, parse it accordingly <strong>and then run it.</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>To reiterate my question, running it is the part I can't do! I can insert the script onto the page via .html(script), but then how do I go about running it?</strong></p>
