I have an HTML page like so:

<html>
<body>
<div id='something'>
    ...
    <script>
    var x = 'hello world';
    </script>
    ...
</div>
</body>
</html>

On another page, I am doing this:

$.ajax({
    url: 'example.html',
    type: 'GET',
    success: function(data) {
        $('#mydiv').html($(data).find('#something').html());
        alert(x);
    }
});

jQuery, however, is not executing the javascript in the first file, even though the documentation says it does. How can I make it do that?

EDIT: Unfortunately in the real world application I am working on I don't have control over what the "included" page has. We are on the same domain, but I can't modify the code that it outputs as it is a packaged product our IT department will not let us modify.
