Javascript trigger if statements if button is clicked

Question

I have this little javascript code:

<script>
        function editHouse()
        {
            if (edit == false) {
                document.getElementById('edit').style.color='red';
                edit = true;
            }
            else {
                document.getElementById('edit').style.color='blue';
                edit = false;
            }
        }
</script>
    <button id="edit" onclick="editHouse()" type="button">@@@@</button>

Which changes the button text to red and blue everytime the button is pressed. However I need more than that, I need other content on the page to enable after the button has been pressed. An example could be enabling some javascript codes like this:

if (edit == false) {
     <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery/jquery-1.5.2.min.js"></script>
     <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery/modalpopup.js"></script>
    }

or even enabling whole chunk of codes, maybe including php database connections etc. Is there a way to do that? if I could just write something like:

<script>
    if (edit == false) {
</script>
             <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery/jquery-1.5.2.min.js"></script>
             <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery/modalpopup.js"></script>
<script>
   }
</script>

But that wasn't the correct way of doing it unfortunatly. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

That won't work. You need to add the script blocks with JS. And if you want DB connections with a mouseclick, you need AJAX. — putvande, Feb 23 '14 at 15:00
Why do you need to do *that*? Try to work things around instead, and you'll come up with a solution that doesn't go against the language's grammar — Reger, Feb 23 '14 at 15:02
@Reger it was just an example of what I needed to do to make it easier to understand, I don't know how that would be possible. hmm — user3287771, Feb 23 '14 at 15:04
@user3287771 Ok, I understand your point. I don't think that's possible. — Reger, Feb 23 '14 at 15:07
