Do something once jQuery plugin has loaded

Question

I\'m dynamically loading jQuery and jQuery UI into a page, and I need to know when jQuery UI has successfully extended jQuery

Answer 1

I used this code on some project to ensure that some scripts run sequentially. It did not work on IE (and I didn't have time to debug), but worked fine on everything else.

var node = document.createElement("script");
$.extend(node, {
    type: 'text/javascript',
    charset: 'utf-8',
    async: false,
    defer: true,
    src: /*...*/
});
$(node).bind('load', loadedCallback);
$('head')[0].appendChild(node);
