Why do people use XMLHttpRequest when creating a new script object and appending it to the body in some cases seems so much natural?

I don't understand what you're asking

[ovigo22]

What i'm asking is what's the for/against on using XmlHttpRequest versus something like var script = document.createElement("script"); script.src = "somefile.js.php?info=abc&param=xyz"; document.body.appendChild(script);

[plantino]

You can't do that, for one.
Security mechanisms prevent it

[ovigo22]

Why not?
No they don't
I've done it

[plantino]

Because that would open up a huge can of cannibalistic worms
Okay, show me.

[ovigo22]

Erm. where?

[plantino]

Wherever you did it

[ovigo22]

On my private intranet...
