Consider the following:

<head>
    <script src="somejsfile.js"></script>
    <script>
        var firstScript = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];
        firstScript.innerScript = firstScript.innerScript.replace("foo","test");
    </script>
</head>

somejsfile.js:

console.log("foo");

Now, this (pseudo)code is for illustration only; it does not work, because there is no innerScript element. So, is there a way to get/manipulate console.log("foo"); using JavaScript DOM manipulation, in a similar way to iframe.innerDocument?

(EDIT: If you would like to know what I need it for:

I am trying to debug whether the script file is loaded or a 404 is occurring. My script contains console.log in the first line, and that line is not executed inside my WP8 xap cordova application.)

Dear deduplicators, thanks for pointing to an answer that is older than the ECMA6 and ECMA5 standard. So may I assume that nothing has changed in the new versions? – Alexander Apr 10 '15 at 07:35
