动态的跨浏览器脚本加载

Question

I know that IE doesn't have a load event for <script> elements — is there any way to make up for that reliably?

I've seen some talk of things (eg, requestState == "complete" ) but nothing very verifiable.

---

This is to be used so that code can be called after a script is finished loading, so that I don't have to use AJAX to load new sources (thus eliminating issues with cross-domain AJAX).

Answer 1

You can use a script loader like head.js . It has its own load callback and it will decrease load time too.

---

From the headjs code: (slightly modified to be more portable)

function scriptTag(src, callback) {

    var s = document.createElement('script');
    s.type = 'text/' + (src.type || 'javascript');
    s.src = src.src || src;
    s.async = false;

    s.onreadystatechange = s.onload = function () {

        var state = s.readyState;

        if (!callback.done && (!state || /loaded|complete/.test(state))) {
            callback.done = true;
            callback();
        }
    };

    // use body if available. more safe in IE
    (document.body || head).appendChild(s);
}

Answer 2

I want to add that if you don't support IE7 and below, you don't need onreadystatechange stuff. Source: quircksmode.org

Simplified and working code from original answer:

function loadScript(src, callback) {    
    var s = document.createElement('script');
    s.type = 'text/javascript';
    s.src = src;
    s.async = false;
    if(callback) {
        s.onload = callback;     
    }
    document.body.appendChild(s);
}

Answer 3

This is just an extension of ilia's answer. I used scriptTag like this: Works great:

    // these 3 scripts load serially.

    scriptTag(boot_config.DEPENDENCIES.jquery,function(){
        // jquery ready - set a flag
        scriptTag(boot_config.DEPENDENCIES.jqueryui,function(){
            // jqueryui ready - set a flag
            scriptTag(boot_config.DEPENDENCIES.your_app,function(){
                // your_app is ready! - set a flag
            });
        });
    });

    // these 2 scripts load in paralell to the group above

    scriptTag(boot_config.EXTERNALS.crypto,function(){
        // crypto ready - set a flag
    });

    scriptTag(boot_config.EXTERNALS.cropper,function(){
        // cropper ready - set a flag
    });
