myScript = document.createElement('script');
myScript.type = 'text/javascript';
myScript.src = 'Scripts/myScript.js';

// Create script element
myScript = document.createElement('script');
// Set the script element type attribute
myScript.type = 'text/javascript';
// Set the script element src attribute to the name of the file that contains your script. Do not forget relative path,
myScript.src = 'Scripts/myScript.js';
// Append script element to the document head element
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(myScript);
// Compliant browsers will download and execute your code after the script node is appended to the document.head.

When you want to execute the script and what is the best way to incorporate it in the document depends on desired functionality.
Why do you need to have some script uploaded at the "runtime"?

I have been given a site to do
that uses java applets that gets
live data from a monitoring unit
there are a number of different
units. what needs to happen is
when the unit icon is click it
displays the js file which
holds the java applet and replace it
when the next unit is click

hope this make some sence

It may make more sense if you had a link to the page you are working on...
