Dynamically <script> elements fail if the calling script is not inline.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I'm trying to load a dart script dynamically using dart. I'm using something like this:

test.html:

    ...
    <script src="http://dart.googlecode.com/svn/branches/bleeding_edge/dart/client/dart.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script>
    <script type="application/dart" src="test.dart"></script>
    ...

test.dart:

    #import('dart:html');
    main() {
        var script = new ScriptElement();
        script.type = 'application/dart';
        script.src = 'helloworld.dart';
        document.body.elements.add(script);
    }

It doesn't work. However, if I inline the same code in the HTML file, it works fine:

test.html:

    ...
    <script src="http://dart.googlecode.com/svn/branches/bleeding_edge/dart/client/dart.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script>
    <script type="application/dart">
    #import('dart:html');
    main() {
        var script = new ScriptElement();
        script.type = 'application/dart';
        script.src = 'helloworld.dart';
        document.body.elements.add(script);
    }
    </script>
    ...

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Using an external script should work.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Ubuntu 12.04. Dart Editor Bundle Version 0.1.0.201208061536, Build 10315

This is by design as of now due to various technical reasons.

Recommended way is to spawn DOM isolate (see top-level spawnDomFunction).

Merging into a bug which I marked won't fix. If suggested workaround doesn't work for you, let's discuss it there.
