I am attempting to check if my Jquery Library is loaded onto my HTML page. I am checking to see if it works, but something is not right. Here is what I have:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/query-1.6.3.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
if (jQuery) {
// jQuery is loaded
alert("Yeah!");
} else {
// jQuery is not loaded
alert("Doesn't Work");
}
});
</script>

something is not right
Well, you are using jQuery to check for the presence of jQuery. If jQuery isn’t loaded then $() won’t even run at all and your callback won’t execute, unless you’re using another library and that library happens to share the same $() syntax.
Remove your $(document).ready() (use something like window.onload instead):
window.onload = function() {
if (window.jQuery) {
// jQuery is loaded
alert("Yeah!");
} else {
// jQuery is not loaded
alert("Doesn't Work");
}
}
