i am using a hosted cms that will automatically include prototype.js but only if certain elements of the CMS are being used on the page. if those elements are not being used on the page then prototype is not included. this is a pain because i want to write some of my own prototype scripts to use on the page but if prototype is not included i obviously get errors with my scripts. so with that said, i was thinking that there must be a way to include a javascript that check to see if prototype has been included already, and inf it hasn''t been included - include it. does anyone have any idea how i could accomplish this? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

You could just do a simple check to see if Prototype has been defined...
if (!Prototype)
includePrototype()
Where I''ll leave the implementation of includePrototype() for you to
Google
("lazy loading javascript files")...

did you wrap the text or did the email client wrap the text?
as in
is there actually a line break in your code?
document.write(''<script type="text/javascript"

that was the email client - in my page there is no break in the text. also i notice that on my page, a ''); } is displayed so it looks like it is dying right before the closing single quote.

oh - ok that makes sense - i had noticed that you broke up the script tags but had no idea why. now i get it. one more question though, now that this is working... how could i do the same thing for scriptaculous - check to see if it is included and if not, include it.

will that code check for script tags in the whole document (head and body) or just the body? just curious because for soem reason my gut is telling me that it would just check within the body but i could be completely wrong.
