  • 0

I have a javascript widget that I wrote using jQuery 1.8 that loads on a clients website that uses jQuery 1.3. I cannot get noConflict working properly in IE without some really ugly hacks. Here is what the page looks like after my widget is rendered:

<html>
<head>
   <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.3.min.js"></script>
</head>
<html>
<body>
   <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.3.min.js"></script>
   <script>
     $jq = $.noConflict();
   </script>
</body>
</html>

In chrome, this works great, $jq is defined as jQuery 1.8.3, but in IE 8 this does not work, $jq is defined as jQuery 1.3. My guess is that its a timing issue, the script gets executed before the new jQuery is loaded. I put in some call back timers and it works, but I cant imagine having embedded callback timers is the right way to go.

Any ideas?

EDIT

I cannot namespace jQuery1.3, the client uses it throughout the page and does not want to upgrade.

    I ended up going with LABjs, which is a javascript loader. This way I can synchronously load scripts and execute code on them accordingly:

    <script>
   $LAB
   .script("framework.js").wait()
   .script("plugin.framework.js")
   .script("myplugin.framework.js")
   .wait(function(){
      myplugin.init();
      framework.init();
      framework.doSomething();
   });
</script>
