[code] Cleanup After execute_script

[Jim]

This code cleans-up the cruft left behind when using execute_script. (reference thread )

Chris' version: (http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=274499#p274499 )

function corePurge(){
   coll = document.body.childNodes;
   for(a=0; a < coll.length; a += 1){
      if (coll[a].tagName ===   "SCRIPT" && coll[a].id === ""){
         document.body.removeChild(coll[a]); 
                        a -= 1;
      }
   }   
}

My version:

function purge_script_tags() {
  var b = document.body;
  var last_node = b.lastChild;
  while(last_node.nodeName === "SCRIPT") {
     b.removeChild(last_node);
     last_node = b.lastChild;
  }
}

jQuery version:
$('body script').detach();

>   var b = document.body;
>   var last_node = b.lastChild;
>   while(last_node.nodeName === "SCRIPT") {
>      b.removeChild(last_node);

This would remove all last scripts including ones not by execute_script - UHMS

And in Chris' edition.. if a developer wanted to avoid being cleaned up, he need only set an id attribute on the script object.
