Bookmarklet error when running script

Question

I have code is this jsFiddle

I have it in a script called AutoPolicy.js at the same location, which I'm trying to call using a bookmarklet:

javascript: (function(){document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('script')).src='http://localhost:43911/Scripts/AutoPolicy.js';})();

When I run this in chrome (not tried other browsers yet), I get an error:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL Sorry - I can't seem to find any more information on the error.

Waat is causing this error and why does it run on jsFiddle but not when called from the bookmarklet?

Thanks

Davy

I guess that it is the paren just after the createElement which is misplaced (attribute src is for the script element and not the document.body) :

javascript: (function(){document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('script').src='http://localhost:43911/Scripts/AutoPolicy.js');})();

EDIT

Edited code in order to separate the treatments:

javascript:(function(){var%20src='http://localhost:43911/Scripts/AutoPolicy.js',s=document.createElement('script');s.src=src;document.body.appendChild(s);})();

thanks - 'Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ;' with that syntax. – davy Nov 30 '12 at 10:08
Oh yes, sorry : I have again misplaced the paren : it should go just before the `; `. I have edited my post. – Samuel Caillerie Nov 30 '12 at 10:35
no sorry - still no joy. I don't understand as its been working fine. – davy Nov 30 '12 at 10:57
It seems that source should be attributed independantly : I have succeeded to make it works (I have tested with jQuery UI) with the new code indicated in the post. – Samuel Caillerie Nov 30 '12 at 11:08
