I've taken this approach as well, but I recommend using cache:true for the $.getScript call (this is off by default). This way, for most requests, it automatically uses the cached version for the getScript call (saving you latency)

| Nov 13, 2013 at 18:24 | comment | added | jjwdesign | Nice Sergey! So, you're using .get() to check if the file exists and .getScript() to check to see if it can be executed/loaded without errors? | |
