Loading JS dynamically from another JS (jQuery)

Question

I'd like to know if I can load an external JS dynamically based on some condition, for example:

$(window).load(function () {
   if($.browser.msie && $.browser.version=="6.0") {
     // load ie.js
     // do stuff using ie.js
   }
});

The use of $.browser.msie like that is deprecated in jQuery 1.3+. — cletus

@cletus: no it isn't. jQuery.browser, although no longer used by jQuery internally, is available to user scripts for the indefinite future: docs.jquery.com/Utilities/jQuery.browser — Crescent Fresh

JQuery's GetScript should do it.

$.getScript("yourscirpt.js", function() {
    alert('Load Complete');
});

So if the above function is in /dir/one.js, yourscript.js should be in the same dir?

The first argument is a URL, not a path. $.getScript() is really making an AJAX call.

If not using jquery, use this to include js

document.writeln('<script type="text/javascript" src="your.js"></script>');

could you also use this notation? <script type="text/javascript" src="your.js"/> so that you close the script tag and dont have to leave the value empty

Use $.getScript(url,callback); it loads the script, and executes it.
