you embed all Javascript in the foot of the webpage. This works OK
with Prototype/Scriptaculous but when I try to do the same with jQuery
the scripts get reloaded....
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="page_layout.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
content
</body>
</html>
works ok - but the supposed optimised code does not....
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
content
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="page_layout.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
It executes the two scripts twice - once from the URLs as provided and
once from the URLs with a "?_={timestamp}" parameter added to the end.
(This also results in downloading the scripts again)
[ This is part of an ajax() function call - but I have not made an
ajax requests) and so consequently the action which I would expect to
occur once occurs twice.... ] I can stop this happening by adding
logic to the call to say only execute once - but it still doesn't stop
the additional downloading of the script.
This is effectively a show-stopper in the project I'm working on as we
are trying to get the page content to load as quickly as possible -
and don't want the javascript evaluated until after the majority of
content has loaded - the double execution isn't too much of an issue
(we can work round that) but the double download isn't....
