如何检测异步加载的jquery何时完成加载？

Question

I want to load jquery asynchronously on a page and then load an other script which depends on jquery (it executes jquery code when loaded). But how can I detect if jquery has finished lodading. Is there an event for this in jquery which fires when the library finished loading?

In theory I could load jquery like this:

<script async src="jquery.js" onload="jqueryloaded()"></script>

but I want the code to work on older browsers too which may not support the async and onload attributes. (In this case jquery is loaded synchronously.) That's why I'm looking for an event which jquery emits when it's loaded. Is there one?

You can try this:

var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = 'jquery.js';
script.onload = jqueryloaded; // thx @Cookie_Monster
document.body.appendChild(script);

Have you seen http://headjs.com/ ?. An example it's:

head.load("jQuery.js", function() {
 // Call a function when done
 console.log("Done loading jQuery");
});
