Question

I have the following:

<div id="some-id"></div><script src="/script.js" type="text/javascript">

I’m trying to basically use the some-id to grab the script and reload it ? How would I do this via ajax ?

i.e. like

var scriptLoad = jQuery('#some-id').next().attr('src');

Then reload the src

Answer 1

Get the next sibling, load the source path, append a querystring to clear any cache. (changing the src causes the script to reload)

var sc = $("#some-id").next();
var src = sc.attr("src");
sc.attr("src", (sc.indexOf("?") == -1 ? "?" : "&") + "c=" + Math.random());
