@hippietrail - an event listener will never work on a static HTML <script>. If you try to add it before then you get an error that the tag doesn't exist, and if you add it after then the script's already run and triggered its events. The only way there is to look for side effects caused by the script.

I just tried to use it to detect if jQuery failed to load but it didn't work. I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong or it just doesn't work in this case. | |
