Question

I am working with an MVC framework with PHP and in my views I only try to load whats needed for the view. However sometimes I need something from a script that may not have been called into play with the loading of the DOM. This is mostly out of the sake of curiosity to know if there is a way I can load another javascript file into my DOM dynamically after the DOM has rendered or can it only be pulled in while the DOM is rendering?

The easiest way to do this is $.getScript(); An Example would be:

$(document).ready(function(){

    $.getScript('urlToJavaScript.js', function(data, textStatus){
       // If urlToJavaScript.js is loaded...
       console.log(data); //data returned
       console.log(textStatus); //success
       console.log('Load was performed.');
    });

});
