I want to provide my clients a simple code to insert and get my plugin.
The code:
<div id='banner-lujanventas'></div> <script src="http://lujanventas.com/plugins/banners/script.js" type="text/javascript"></script> The problem is that my plugin only works with jQuery. How do I check if a version of jQuery is installed on my script.js file and if not include it? (I can only modify my /script.js file)
Make your own script element :
if (typeof jQuery === "undefined") { var script = document.createElement('script'); script.src = 'http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js'; script.type = 'text/javascript'; document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script); } //edit window.onload = function() { $(function(){ alert("jQuery + DOM loaded."); }); } You must put your real onload code in a window.onload() function, and NOT in a $(document).ready() function, because jquery.js is not necessary loaded at this time.
if (!jQuery) will throw an error. You should do if (typeof jQuery === "undefined")
$(function(){ alert("jQuery + DOM loaded."); }); and it nevers show the alert. How can I fix this?
You can check for the jQuery variable
if (typeof jQuery === 'undefined') { // download it } For downloading options, e.g. asynchronous vs. document.write, check out this article.
Something like this:
<script>!window.jQuery && document.write(unescape('%3Cscript src="http://yourdomain.com/js/jquery-1.6.2.min.js"%3E%3C/script%3E'))</script> I dug up some old code that looks for a particular version of jQuery and loads it if it's not found plus it avoids conflicting with any existing jQuery the page already uses:
// This handles loading the correct version of jQuery without // interfering with any other version loaded from the parent page. (function(window, document, version, callback) { var j, d; var loaded = false; if (!(j = window.jQuery) || version > j.fn.jquery || callback(j, loaded)) { var script = document.createElement("script"); script.type = "text/javascript"; script.src = "http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.0.min.js"; script.onload = script.onreadystatechange = function() { if (!loaded && (!(d = this.readyState) || d == "loaded" || d == "complete")) { callback((j = window.jQuery).noConflict(1), loaded = true); j(script).remove(); } }; (document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0] || document.documentElement).appendChild(script); } })(window, document, "2.1", function($) { $(document).ready(function() { console.log("Using jQuery version: " + $.fn.jquery); // Your code goes here... }); });
