Thanks, In the second link there was never a good answer... I don't need error messages, I want to know in code if I should or shouldn't load jQuery.
The reason I want to add the reference to jQuery and checking is that other people are going to use the control in their project, so on one hand I don't want to tell them what to put on their page but on the other hand I don't want to load the jQuery twice. So, is it possible to do this?
