I've written some stuff do load dynamic js for my personal library.

BearLib.Config = {

You'll want to try it out on the browsers you're targeting, but I tend
to doubt it: All the code inserting the tag is doing is inserting the

Caveat: I have not had to do this in the wild, so there are sure to

currently-running script wait for the js file to be downloaded and executed?
Or does the js file download in the background while the current script
finishes?

Try Googling around for lazy loading its the idea you're talking
about...

but unfortunately nothing with loading
