[Wikitech-l] Part 2: The right way to inject JavaScript?

[Daniel Barrett]

Last week, I asked the right way to inject raw JavaScript so that "mw" and 
"jQuery" were defined. I was helpfully pointed to 
ResourceLoader::makeInlineScript(), which wraps the JS in the appropriate magic:

Now, what is the right way to include a remote JavaScript file? If I simply use 
OutputPage::addScript() like this:

        $myOutputPage->addScript('<script 
src="http://remote.com/myfile.js";></script>')

it fails because the remote JavaScript file references the "jQuery" object like 
this:

         function ($) {
                //... code here
        }(jQuery));

I get "ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined" on the last line.  I guess the 
remote script is getting evaluated before ResourceLoader brings in jquery.js...?

Thanks very much for any advice.
