Here is another JQuery-based solution without any timers:
<script type="text/javascript">
function loadScript(url, onsuccess, onerror) {
$.get(url)
.done(function() {
// File/url exists
console.log("JS Loader: file exists, executing $.getScript "+url)
$.getScript(url, function() {
if (onsuccess) {
console.log("JS Loader: Ok, loaded. Calling onsuccess() for " + url);
onsuccess();
console.log("JS Loader: done with onsuccess() for " + url);
} else {
console.log("JS Loader: Ok, loaded, no onsuccess() callback " + url)
}
});
}).fail(function() {
// File/url does not exist
if (onerror) {
console.error("JS Loader: probably 404 not found. Not calling $.getScript. Calling onerror() for " + url);
onerror();
console.error("JS Loader: done with onerror() for " + url);
} else {
console.error("JS Loader: probably 404 not found. Not calling $.getScript. No onerror() callback " + url);
}
});
}
</script>
