Load javascript via Firebug console

Question

How can I load a javascript file via Firebug console ?

This would be useful in development, so I don't have to modify the html code to load the script.

Answer 1

var script = document.createElement("script");
script.src = "http://whatever.com/js/my/script.js";
document.body.appendChild(script);

Answer 2

A very handy command is include();

include("http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js");

Answer 3

Just ran into the same problem, and - as jQuery is used in the project anyway - I decided to do a simple:

$.getScript('example.js')

Or:

$.getScript('example.js', function () { doSomethingOnceLoaded(); })

Alternatively, I may code JavaScript directly in Firebug, using the console with the text entry pane on the right side. Activate it with the triangle button in the lower right hand corner.
