I have a website with different routes, say site.com/foo and site.com/bar. I would like some widget scripts to be added to the html headers of the site only if the route is site.com/foo (and not if it is site.com/bar)
Currently what I have are a bunch of elements in the header like this:
<script id="mcjs">!function(c,h,i,m,p){m=c.createElement(h),p=c.getElementsByTagName(h)[0],m.async=1,m.src=i,p.parentNode.insertBefore(m,p)}(document,"script","xyz");</script>
so every child route of site.com gets the scripts.
Is there a way to conditionally add in these scripts based on routes using JS and HTML?
Are you somewhat looking for this? It's in plain javascript without any library
<html>
<body onload="onloadFunc()">
</body>
<script>
var script = document.createElement("script");
script.type = "text/javascript";
function onloadFunc() {
let path = window.location.pathname
if(path.search("bar") >= 0){
script.src = "a.js";
} else{
script.src = "b.js";
}
}
document.body.appendChild(script);
</script>
</html>
I need to load this script in a Meteor project:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.dropbox.com/static/api/2/dropins.js" id="dropboxjs" data-app-key="my-api-key"></script>
I first tried to do a $('head').append('<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.dropbox.com/static/api/2/dropins.js" id="dropboxjs" data-app-key="my-api-key"></script>') on Template.Image.onRendered, but the problem is that the library loads every time the template is rendered, and gives this error: dropins.js included more than once
I've also looked at the wait-on-lib package, https://github.com/DerMambo/wait-on-lib, but I'm not able to pass the data-app-key or id to the Router waiton function.
Do you have any suggestions on how to load this script?
I've never used dropbox sdk, but maybe this help you or give some idea for that.
if(window.Dropbox){
// Nice, is already loaded
}
else {
$("head")
.append('<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.dropbox.com/static/api/2/dropins.js" id="dropboxjs" data-app-key="your-api-key"></script>');
var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.src = 'https://www.dropbox.com/static/api/2/dropins.js';
head.appendChild(script);
script.onload = function(){
//whatever, I Want It All!
};
}
You can add this on your Template.template_name.onCreated code block.
I have an html page, I need to add some reference to JS files in the head of the html.
The following code is working, but the scriptTVKeyValue is always being added before the tag
I would like to add instead directly after
Any idea what I am doing wrong here?
<head>
// I want reference added here
<script src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="js/json2.js"></script>
// Reference to file added here
</head>
// APP_MAIN.onLoad()
var scriptTVKeyValue = document.createElement('script');
scriptTVKeyValue.type = 'text/javascript';
scriptTVKeyValue.src = '$MANAGER_WIDGET/Common/API/TVKeyValue.js';
head.appendChild(scriptTVKeyValue);
Look at http://www.jspatterns.com/the-ridiculous-case-of-adding-a-script-element/
You should have the answer
Solution using jQuery:
//Take the refference to the previous node
var $jsFile = $container.find('[src="js/jquery.js"]');
var fileName= '$MANAGER_WIDGET/Common/API/TVKeyValue.js';
// Insert the script
$jsFile .insertAfter($('<script>')
.attr('type', 'text/javascript')
.attr('src', fileName));
If you are happy/allowed to use a JS library, then you can load the scripts with requireJS It has advanced features to do this: it will enable you to call functions after your dynamically added script is loaded.

How should I include a js file from another js file?
In one of my js files, I need to use functions from other js file. How would I achieve this?
Just load the dependent file after the source file - e.g. function in file a requires function in file b
<script src="b.js"/>
<script src="a.js"/>
If you want to dynamically load a script file then:
function loadScript(filename){
// find the header section of the document
var head=document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
// create a new script element in the document
// store a reference to it
var script=document.createElement('script')
// attach the script to the head
head.appendChild(script);
// set the script type
script.setAttribute("type","text/javascript")
// set the script source, this will load the script
script.setAttribute("src", filename)
}
loadScript("someScript.js");
Google uses this to import the adsense code into a page.
UPDATED
You will need to include both files in any page that uses your functions.
<script type="text/javascript" src="myscript.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="script myscript uses.js"></script>
The public functions in both files will be available to each other.
You could add a <script> element to the DOM in your script that are pointing to the dependencies - this will allow you to only include your javascript file in a page.
document.write("<script language='javascript' src='script myscript uses.js' />");
Including both to the page in the right sequence:
<head>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="library.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts_that_use_library_functions.js"></script>
</head>
You can add js files dynamically in your DOM, like this :
var headID = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
var newScript = document.createElement('script');
newScript.type = 'text/javascript';
newScript.src = 'http://www.somedomain.com/somescript.js';
headID.appendChild(newScript);
I have some code specific to sorting tables. Since the code is common in most pages I want to make a JS file which will have the code and all the pages using it can reference it from there.
Problem is: How do I add jQuery, and table sorter plugin into that .js file?
I tried something like this:
document.writeln('<script src="/javascripts/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>');
document.writeln('<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/jquery.tablesorter.js"></script>');
but this seems to not work.
What is the best way to do this?
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = 'https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.3.min.js'; // Check https://jquery.com/ for the current version
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);
If you want to include jQuery code from another JS file, this should do the trick:
I had the following in my HTML file:
<script src="jquery-1.6.1.js"></script>
<script src="my_jquery.js"></script>
I created a separate my_jquery.js file with the following:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a').click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
$(this).hide("slow");
});
});
You can use the below code to achieve loading jQuery in your JS file. I have also added a jQuery JSFiddle that is working and it's using a self-invoking function.
// Anonymous "self-invoking" function
(function() {
var startingTime = new Date().getTime();
// Load the script
var script = document.createElement("SCRIPT");
script.src = 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js';
script.type = 'text/javascript';
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(script);
// Poll for jQuery to come into existance
var checkReady = function(callback) {
if (window.jQuery) {
callback(jQuery);
}
else {
window.setTimeout(function() { checkReady(callback); }, 20);
}
};
// Start polling...
checkReady(function($) {
$(function() {
var endingTime = new Date().getTime();
var tookTime = endingTime - startingTime;
window.alert("jQuery is loaded, after " + tookTime + " milliseconds!");
});
});
})();
Other Option : - You can also try Require.JS which is a JS module loader.
/* Adding the script tag to the head as suggested before */
var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.src = "http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.1.min.js";
// Then bind the event to the callback function.
// There are several events for cross browser compatibility.
script.onreadystatechange = handler;
script.onload = handler;
// Fire the loading
head.appendChild(script);
function handler(){
console.log('jquery added :)');
}
In if you want to add reference to any js file, say, from your project, you may also add it directly using reference tag, in Visual Studio IDE this is handled automatically by dragging and dropping the external file from solution explorer to current file (This works for mark up files, .js & .css files too)
/// <reference path="jquery-2.0.3.js" />
Here is the solution, that I adopted as a combination of some proposed solutions in some other forums.
This way you can reference both css files and other js files in one js file, thus making change next time only in a single place. Please let me know if you have any concerns on it.
I have done following:
I have created a js with name jQueryIncluder.js
declared and executed following code in this file
function getVirtualDirectory() {
var vDir = document.location.pathname.split('/');
return '/' + vDir[1] + '/';
}
function include_jQueryFilesToPage() {
var siteAddress = location.protocol + '//' + document.location.hostname + getVirtualDirectory();
var jqCSSFilePath = siteAddress + 'includes/jQueryCSS/ehrgreen-theme/jquery-ui-1.8.2.custom.css';
var jqCoreFilePath = siteAddress + 'includes/jquery-1.4.1.min.js';
var jqUIFilePath = siteAddress + 'includes/jquery-ui-1.8.2.custom.min.js';
var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
// jQuery CSS jnclude
var jqCSS = 'cssIDJQ'; // you could encode the css path itself to generate id.
if (!document.getElementById(jqCSS)) {
var link = document.createElement('link');
link.id = jqCSS;
link.rel = 'stylesheet';
link.type = 'text/css';
link.href = jqCSSFilePath;
link.media = 'all';
head.appendChild(link);
}
// Core jQuery include
var jqc = "coreFileRefIDJQ";
if (!document.getElementById(jqc))
document.write('<scr' + 'ipt type="text/javascript" id="' + jqc + '" src="' + jqCoreFilePath + '"></scr' + 'ipt>');
// jQueryUI include
var jqUI = "uiFileRefIDJQ";
if (!document.getElementById(jqUI))
document.write('<scr' + 'ipt type="text/javascript" id="' + jqUI + '" src="' + jqUIFilePath + '"></scr' + 'ipt>');
}
include_jQueryFilesToPage();
I referenced the above jQueryIncluder.js file in another js or xsl file of my .Net project as following:
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/includes/jQueryIncluder.js"></script>
I hope my effort is appreciated.
Thanks
it is not possible to import js file inside another js file
The way to use jquery inside js is
import the js in the html or whatever view page you are using inside which you are going to include the js file
view.html
<script src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/js/jquery-1.11.3.js"></script>
<script src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/js/default.js"></script>
default.js
$('document').ready(function() {
$('li#user').click(function() {
$(this).addClass('selectedEmp');
});
});
this will definitely work for you
The following answer was posted previously by another user, but provided no explanation so I decided to annotate what is happening.
var jQueryScript = document.createElement('script');
jQueryScript.setAttribute('src','https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js');
document.head.appendChild(jQueryScript);
Explanation
The problem is solved by creating a script element in JavaScript, and then setting the src attribute to the path of the jQuery file.
var jQueryScript = document.createElement('script');
Above we create the script element.
Next we set the src attribute to the path as explained before.
This can be set to
https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js
or
/your/path/to/jquery/file
In use:
jQueryScript.setAttribute('src','https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js');
Last, but not least, appending the new element to the document head:
document.head.appendChild(jQueryScript);
or body:
document.body.appendChild(jQueryScript);
In Use
var jQueryScript = document.createElement('script');
jQueryScript.setAttribute('src', 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js');
document.head.appendChild(jQueryScript);
setTimeout(function() {
// Add the rest of your code here, as we have to wait a moment before the document has jQuery as a part of it.
$("body").html("<h1>It Works!</h1>");
}, 1000);
Theres a plugin for jquery where you can just include the files you need into some other js file, here is the link for it http://tobiasz123.wordpress.com/2007/08/01/include-script-inclusion-jquery-plugin/.
Also this document.write line will write the script tags in the html not in your js file.
So I hope this could help you out, a little with your problem
The problem is you're using </script> within the script, which is ending the script tag. Try this:
document.writeln('<script src="/javascripts/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></sc'+'ript>');
document.writeln('<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/jquery.tablesorter.js"></sc'+'ript>');
I believe what you want to do is still to incude this js file in you html dom, if so then this apporach will work.
Write your jquery code in your javascript file as you
would in your html dom
Include jquery framework before closing body tag
Include javascript file after including jqyery file
Example:
//js file
$(document).ready(function(){
alert("jquery in js file");
});
//html dom
<body>
<!--some divs content--->
<script src=/path/to/jquery.js ></script>
<script src=/path/to/js.js ></script>
</body>
If you frequently want to update your jquery file link to a new version file, across your site on many pages, at one go..
Create a javascript file (.js) and put in the below code, and map this javascript file to all the pages (instead of mapping jquery file directly on the page), so when the jquery file link is updated on this javascript file it will reflect across the site.
The below code is tested and it works good!
document.write('<');
document.write('script ');
document.write('src="');
//next line is the path to jquery file
document.write('/javascripts/jquery-1.4.1.js');
document.write('" type="text/javascript"></');
document.write('script');
document.write('>');
You can create a master page base without included js and jquery files. Put a content place holder in master page base in head section, then create a nested master page that inherits from this master page base. Now put your includes in a asp:content in nested master page, finally create a content page from this nested master page
Example:
//in master page base
<%# master language="C#" autoeventwireup="true" inherits="MasterPage" codebehind="MasterPage.master.cs" %>
<html>
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder runat="server" ID="cphChildHead">
<!-- Nested Master Page include Codes will sit Here -->
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>
<body>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
<!-- some code here -->
</body>
</html>
//in nested master page :
<%# master language="C#" masterpagefile="~/MasterPage.master" autoeventwireup="true"
codebehind="MasterPageLib.master.cs" inherits="sampleNameSpace" %>
<asp:Content ID="headcontent" ContentPlaceHolderID="cphChildHead" runat="server">
<!-- includes will set here a nested master page -->
<link href="../CSS/pwt-datepicker.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="../js/jquery-1.9.0.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<!-- other includes ;) -->
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="bodyContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="cphChildBody" runat="server" EnableViewState="true">
<!-- Content page code will sit Here -->
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</asp:Content>
Dynamic adding jQuery, CSS from js file.
When we added onload function to body we can use jQuery to create page from js file.
init();
function init()
{
addJQuery();
addBodyAndOnLoadScript();
addCSS();
}
function addJQuery()
{
var head = document.getElementsByTagName( 'head' )[0];
var scriptjQuery = document.createElement( 'script' );
scriptjQuery.type = 'text/javascript';
scriptjQuery.id = 'jQuery'
scriptjQuery.src = 'https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.1.min.js';
var script = document.getElementsByTagName( 'script' )[0];
head.insertBefore(scriptjQuery, script);
}
function addBodyAndOnLoadScript()
{
var body = document.createElement('body')
body.onload =
function()
{
onloadFunction();
};
}
function addCSS()
{
var head = document.getElementsByTagName( 'head' )[0];
var linkCss = document.createElement( 'link' );
linkCss.rel = 'stylesheet';
linkCss.href = 'E:/Temporary_files/temp_css.css';
head.appendChild( linkCss );
}
function onloadFunction()
{
var body = $( 'body' );
body.append('<strong>Hello world</strong>');
}
html
{
background-color: #f5f5dc;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Temp Study HTML Page</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="E:\Temporary_files\temp_script.js"></script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
If document.write('<\script ...') isn't working, try document.createElement('script')...
Other than that, you should be worried about the type of website you're making - do you really think its a good idea to include .js files from .js files?
just copy the code from the two files into your file at the top.
or use something like this http://code.google.com/p/minify/ to combine your files dynamically.

I find that the best way is to use this...
**<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>**
This is from the Codecademy 'Make an Interactive Website' project.
After lots of research, I solve this issue with hint from ofir_aghai answer about script load event.
Basically we need to use $ for jQuery code, but we can't use it till jQuery is loaded. I used document.createElement() to add a script for jQuery, but the issue is that it takes time to load while the next statement in JavaScript using $ fails. So, I used the below solution.
myscript.js is having code which uses jQuery
main.js is used to load both jquery.min.js and myscript.js files making sure that jQuery is loaded.
main.js code
window.load = loadJQueryFile();
var heads = document.getElementsByTagName('head');
function loadJQueryFile(){
var jqueryScript=document.createElement('script');
jqueryScript.setAttribute("type","text/javascript");
jqueryScript.setAttribute("src", "/js/jquery.min.js");
jqueryScript.onreadystatechange = handler;
jqueryScript.onload = handler;
heads[0].appendChild(jqueryScript);
}
function handler(){
var myScriptFile=document.createElement('script');
myScriptFile.setAttribute("type","text/javascript");
myScriptFile.setAttribute("src", "myscript.js");
heads[0].appendChild(myScriptFile);
}
This way it worked. Using loadJQueryFile() from myscript.js didn't work. It immediately goes to the next statement which uses $.
The latest answer is outdated, try this:
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = 'https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.1.min.js';
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);
var jQueryScript = document.createElement('script');
jQueryScript.setAttribute('src','https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js');
document.head.appendChild(jQueryScript);
Why are you using Javascript to write the script tags? Simply add the script tags to your head section. So your document will look something like this:
<html>
<head>
<!-- Whatever you want here -->
<script src="/javascripts/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/javascripts/jquery.tablesorter.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
The contents of the page.
</body>
</html>
