Question

Is it possible to load Jquery in the body of a page.

Answer 1

+1 A:

It looks like you are using PHP? If so, create a static method that returns that string, but only if it hasn't already been included this request. Then you can ensure that it's only being included once.

I'm already doing that. But it doesn't fix the problem.

+1 A:

I guess the answer is yes. you can load the jQuery.js in your body. But you have to write your script tags only after jQuery.js declaration, if not you may end up with errors :)

PS : please correct me If I'm wrong :)

That's what I'm doing right now, and it doesn't seem to work.

Answer 3

+2 A:

jQuery should really be called in the head element. Here's how you'd do that conditionally (untested).

In your controller, each function that needs jQuery should have:

$data['need_jquery'] = true;
$this->load->view('header');

In your header view:

<head>
    <? if($need_jquery) { ?>
        <script src="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js" /></script>
    <? } ?>
</head>

Wow, that's a much better idea than mine.

Answer 4

A:

My website is the same way. What I do is I have one header that is loaded on all pages. In that header I do if($this->uri->segment(2) == 'controller'). Then I load jQuery and certain scripts if needed for that controller.

Answer 5

A:

I think it will be fine if jQuery will be included in the tag of every page, besides, you can use the minified version of jQuery which is not so heavy.

Answer 6

A:

Uh, maybe I'm wrong. But when I view your source code and follow where the jquery file is: http://www.formulator.com/assets/scripts/jquery/jquery.js I get a "page cannot be found" error. So I'm guessing this could be the problem. Maybe the way your php outputs it isn't including the correct domain/subdomain?

Oh, sorry. Like I said it resides on my home machine, so I'll need to update it a bit to access jquery.

lemiant 2010-09-01 16:24:11

Alright I've fixed that. But the error persits.PS thanks for the tip off.
