Loading scripts after page load?

Question

I work with an advertising company, where we tag certain pages to track activity. A client of mine wants to fire off a javascript tag to track activity AFTER the page has fi

Answer 1

So, there's no way that this works:

window.onload = function(){
  
};

You can't freely drop HTML into the middle of javascript.

If you have jQuery, you can just use:

$.getScript("http://jact.atdmt.com/jaction/JavaScriptTest")

whenever you want. If you want to make sure the document has finished loading, you can do this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $.getScript("http://jact.atdmt.com/jaction/JavaScriptTest");
});

In plain javascript, you can load a script dynamically at any time you want to like this:

var tag = document.createElement("script");
tag.src = "http://jact.atdmt.com/jaction/JavaScriptTest";
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(tag);
