@Stephen: Nice trick, I'll be adding it to my bag! To all: If you're already using PHP includes and JSMin why not go all the way to Minify? I use Minify ( http://code.google.com/p/minify/ , thx rgrove) for my JS & CSS. With jQuery, nearly all of us are using more than one JavaScript include, minify combines and compresses, and the pages are blazing fast. I'm not a numbers nut so I can't say quantitatively, but qualitatively just seeing my page load near- instantly over GPRS on an iPhone confirmed my choice.
Plus for those of us (like me) on shared hosts with PHP4, Vulgarisoverip has done a PHP4 translation: http://www.vulgarisoip.com/2007/06/21/minify-your-external-javascript-and-css-with-php/ I have mentioned this before but Minify seems underappreciated. Is there any reason NOT to use it?
