Answer 1

You could get the attribute of the src of the script and then use XHR to get the contents of the JS file. It's a much cleaner way of doing it IMO. e.g.:-

if(window.XMLHttpRequest) {
                var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();         
                xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
                    if(xhr.status == 200 && xhr.readyState == 4) {
                        var sourceCode = xhr.responseText;
                                            alert('The source code is:-\n'+sourceCode);
                    }
                }
                xhr.open("GET",document.getElementById('scriptID').src,true);
                xhr.send(null);
            }
