What is the best way to add a reference to a javascript file from another javascript file?
Suppose that I have a js file included in my webpage. This javascript has a dependency on another file. So I want to reference the dependency within my js file, and not from the html code. Is my thinking correct?
I know I can create a script DOM element and then append it to the page, but that smells bad for me.
Have you any tips about that?
Creating a
scriptDOM element is the only available way as far as I know. After checking the source code of jQuery and YUI, I couldn’t find a better way. Both use this technique. Check out the globalEval function in jQuery, and the _scriptNode function in YUI.
