Is the callback on jQuery's getScript() unreliable or am I doing something wrong?

Question

I\'m using the following bit of script to load another one:

$.getScript(\"CAGScript.js\", function () {
    try {
        CAGinit();
    } catch(err) {
              


        

Answer 1

In order to make sure CAGScript.js is LOADED and EXECUTED before calling CAGinit function, the surest way is to have the function call inside CAGScript.js.

CAGScript.js:

    ...
    /*
    your code
    */
    function CAGinit(){
    ...
    }
    ...
    /* last line */
    CAGinit();

and then, in your main file just call getScript():

 

    $.getScript("CAGScript.js");
