I want to include jquery.js in myjs.js file. I wrote the code below for this.

  var theNewScript=document.createElement("script");
  theNewScript.type="text/javascript";
  theNewScript.src="http://example.com/jquery.js";
  document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(theNewScript);
  $.get(myfile.php);

There shows an error on the 5th line that is '$ not defined'. I want to include jquery.js and then want to call $.get() function in myjs.js file. How can I do this? Please help me

Simple answer, Dont. The jQuery file is very touchy to intruders so dont try. Joining other files into jQuery file will often cause errors in the JS console, PLUS jQuery isn't initialized until the file is loaded into main document.

Sorry, scratch that. Didnt quite know what you were doing.

Try this:

var s = document.createElement('script');
s.type = 'text/javascript';
s.async = true;
s.src = 'http://domain.com/jquery.js';
(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(s);

I used this code before, and it worked:

var t=document;
var o=t.createElement('script');
o=t.standardCreateElement('script');
o.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');
o.setAttribute('src','http://www.example.com/js/jquery-1.3.2.js');
t.lastChild.firstChild.appendChild(o);
