Check if Javascript script exists on page
You can check whether your script is loaded like this:
function isMyScriptLoaded(url) {
if (!url) url = "http://xxx.co.uk/xxx/script.js";
var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
for (var i = scripts.length; i--;) {
if (scripts[i].src == url) return true;
}
return false;
}
Alternatively, you could do something like this:
<a href="javascript:
if (!jsCode) {
var jsCode = document.createElement('script');
jsCode.setAttribute('src', 'http://xxx.co.uk/xxx/script.js');
document.body.appendChild(jsCode);
}
">Bookmarklet</a>
This "pollutes" the global namespace with the jsCode
variable, but that might be a necessary evil. You could rename it to something that is unlikely to appear in the document where the bookmarklet is run.
Please note that while the javascript
URI scheme is okay for bookmarklets as in this case, it's not considered to be a good practice for normal use.
Just check the selector length. Here's an example using jQuery:
if ($('script[src="http://xxx.co.uk/xxx/script.js"]').length > 0) {
//script exists
}
