Read and Execute JavaScript from URL on function call

Question

I have a URL that has some JavaScript file, ImportantScript.js:

www.PrivateDomain.com/ImportantScript.js

I have another URL, www.ImportantBusiness.com, that has some other script file on its page with the following code:

$(document).ready(function ()
{
    // Code to read and execute ImportantScript.js
}

What code do I need for the browser viewing www.ImportantBusiness.com to read and execute ImportantScript.js from the URL www.PrivateDomain.com/ImportantScript.js

I assume just adding a normal <script src="..."> tag to the HTML isn't possible? — JJJ

You can use the following.

var script = document.createElement("script");
        script.src = "http://www.PrivateDomain.com/ImportantScript.js"
        script.onreadystatechange = function(){
            if (!done && (!this.readyState || this.readyState == "loaded" || this.readyState == "complete")) {
                        done = true;
                        //call some function when done
            }
        };
        document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(script);
