Are there any real benefits to including javascript dynamically rather than as script tags at the bo
- by SB
I've read that including the scripts dynamically may provide some better performance, however i'm not really seeing that on the small local tests I'm doing. I created a jquery plugin to dynamically load other plugins as necessary and am curious as to if this is actually a good idea. The following would be called onready or at the bottom of the page(I can provide the source for the plugin if anyone is interested):
$.fn.executePlugin(
'qtip', // looks in default folder
{
required: '/javascript/plugin/easing.js', // not really required for qtip just testing it
version: 1, //used for versioning and caching
checkelement: '#thumbnail', // will not include plugin if $(element).length==0
css: 'page.css', // include this css file as well with plugin
cache:true, // $.ajax will use cache:true
success:function() { // success function to be called after the plugin loads - apply qtip to an element
$('#thumbnail').qtip(
{
content: 'Some basic content for the tooltip', // Give it some content, in this case a simple string
style: {name:'cream'},
});
}
});
