I guess you are talking about this piece of code: http://www.jspax.org/package_src.js Very good hint! Thanks. He does something really clever: he exploits the fact that when you insert N <script> nodes into the DOM, despite the fact that most browsers _LOAD_ the <scripts> in parallel, their code _execution_ is done in the sequence of the DOM node order. So, the jspax stuff simply adds a second <script> without any external references but with local code just _after_ the <script> which loads the code. This does the trick! The second <script> code is executed _after_ the code of the first <script> is available. Bingo! That's it. I'll immediately investigate and try to modify my jquery.xsajax.js plugin to use this trick for Safari (although it should work equally well for all browsers, but who knows...) Ralf S.
