document.createElement(“script”) synchronously

Question

Is it possible to call in a .js file synchronously and then use it immediately afterward?

Answer 1

Ironically, I have what you want, but want something closer to what you had.

I am loading things in dynamically and asynchronously, but with an load callback like so (using dojo and xmlhtpprequest)

  dojo.xhrGet({
    url: 'getCode.php',
    handleAs: "javascript",
    content : {
    module : 'my.js'
  },
  load: function() {
    myFunc1('blarg');
  },
  error: function(errorMessage) {
    console.error(errorMessage);
  }
});

For a more detailed explanation, see here

The problem is that somewhere along the line the code gets evaled, and if there's anything wrong with your code, the console.error(errorMessage); statement will indicate the line where eval() is, not the actual error. This is SUCH a big problem that I am actually trying to convert back to
