var head;

var script;

head = $$('head')[0];
if (head)
{
    script = new Element('script', { type: 'text/javascript', src: 'dynamic.js' });
    head.appendChild(script);
}

Im loading this script after a user interaction, so I dont think inserting in head would execute it, would it ? Anyway, I've used native JS to add this. Hopefully this works in all browsers. var fileref = document.createElement('script'); fileref.setAttribute("type","text/javascript"); fileref.setAttribute("src", "domain.com/script.js");

Cool, now is there a onComplete? how can I detect when it finishes loading?

That was 2010, leave these stuff and move to Angular, Backbone etc. Also look at script loading with require.js if you just need to add script modules
