Try this: if (typeof myFunction === "undefined") {
$.getScript("myFunction.js", function() { alert('script loaded'); }); }

Hello, I was wondering if jQuery can be used to load javascript dynamically, on an as-needed basis. Here is the problem I have: I want to load a page with as little javascript as possible. When someone clicks on an item that requires some javascript functionality, I want it to load a javascript function from an external file and then execute it. While there is some simple javascript I've found that can do this kind of thing by appending the script to the DOM, it can't do things in order. For instance, I want to load the function, and then execute it. To do so, the javascript has to have some way to check if the funciton exists. I don't like the idea of doing a time-out loop, so I was wondering if jQuery has something built in for this kind of thing. Thank you! Chris
