rails javascript_include_tag

Question

Hi,

I have a few custom .js files in my public/javascripts folder. The 'javascript_include_tag' adds script tags to the head element. Are these executed in the order in which they appear. If yes, how do I control the order in which these script tags are added to my html.

thanks, ash

Yes, they are executed in order of appearance, so you just write them in the order you want. If you are currently using javascript_include_tag :all then you can include individual scripts instead to get the order you want:

javascript_include_tag :defaults
javascript_include_tag "script_1"
javascript_include_tag "script_2"
