jQuery does provide a $.getScript function that replicates your jsInclude functionality.
I've also written a quick snippet that you might find beneficial. It does automatic script includes based on your other script tags. For example, if you add the small plugin I wrote and have the following script tag: <script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/jquery.js? ui.jquery.min,footer.min"></script> Once the document is ready, jQuery will backload /path/to/ui.jquery.min.js and /path/to/footer.min.js My script is located here: http://snipplr.com/view/10368/jquery-automatic-script-includer/ There's also some pretty decent "onDemand" loading libraries out there, which you may also find useful: http://www.google.com/search?q=on+demand+javascript On Feb 3, 12:09 pm, Sébastien Richer <sebastienric...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Jim and Eric, > > I did a bit of testing around, and what I found is that i I want to > "include" a js file from my js code, I'll need to have that script > end, before the .js is "loaded". > > So I tried a couple of things and the following now works : > > <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> > function jsInclude(jsFile) { > document.write('<' + 'script'); > document.write(' language="JavaScript"'); > document.write(' type="text/javascript"'); > document.write(' src="' + jsFile + '">'); > document.write('</' + 'script' + '>'); > } > > // jquery.js > if (typeof($) != "function") { > // jquery.js not included... include it > jsInclude("/_js/jquery.js"); > } > </script> > <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> > // jquery.cookie.js > if (typeof($.cookie) != "function") { > // jquery.cookie.js not included... include it > jsInclude("/_js/jquery.cookie.js"); > } > </script> > <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> > > alert("Type1 : " + typeof($)); > alert("Type2 : " + typeof($.cookie)); > > [...] > > So this "works", but on a scale from 1 to 10, on the ugliness of the > whole thing, I think I'd give it a 8 or 9 hehe :) > > I'll probably send my jsInclude function in my main .js file...
