Hi All, I am struggling to test if a jQuery reference exists yet on a page, and if it does continue loading my jQuery plugins. However, if it does not, I wish to add the jQuery reference, and continue loading my jQuery plugins only after the jQuery script has loaded.
Below is a snippet of what I've tried (which does not work). This code is in the body tag of my page, and my specific problem is detecting if a page has already loaded jQuery into the header. Thanks! <body> <div id="global_menu"> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> if (!jQuery) { //alert("jQuery NOT loaded"); var script = document.createElement('script'); script.type = 'text/javascript'; script.src = 'jquery-1.2.6.min.js'; document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script); } </script> <!-- many other jQuery plugins are referenced here, too --> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.elon.edu/e-net/ Scripts/menu/jquery.jdMenu.js" /> <!-- menu source removed for brevity --> </div> </body>
