javascript won't run in jquery .load function

Question

I have a problem with executing javascript with .load function in jquery. In my main js file I have something like it:

var dt = new Date();
$(".pp_social").load("trackingCode.html?"+ dt.getTime());

and in trackingCode.html

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
  if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
<div class="fb-like" data-href="www.blah.com" data-send="true" data-width="450"   data-show-faces="true"></div>

When I run it for the first time is fine. Then any next time I invoke it, it omits javascript part. Any ideas what coluld be wrong and why?

Cheers, Bartek

Well, your script creates an element and gives it the id value "facebook-jssdk". There's a line at the top:

if (d.getElementById(id)) { return; }

Thus, once it's created the element, it'll never do anything again.

Ok. Understand. At the moment it is like button for a each photo in a gallery. What is the best method to make that part unique and working?

Well I'm not sure why you'd need to re-import the code over and over again.

Cause I didn't know how to put multiple 'I like' buttons on one site (gallery). I've already found below code and it works fine:
