Different javascript type

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have just started reading the DWPE book (love it btw thank you!) so
perhaps there is already a solution to this and I just didn't see it.

I wondered how one would include javascript that is not
type="text/javascript"?  In particular, I am attempting to include the
Jqtouch library for the iPhone with the type="application/x-javascript". 
The css loadStyles allows you to specify attributes, is there a way to do
this for the loadScripts option?

Thanks very much

Hi Laura,
So glad to hear you love the book!

While it's not specifically documented in Designing with Progressive 
Enhancement, 
EnhanceJS allows you to specify loadScripts array items in object syntax to 
specify 
attributes just like you can with loadStyles. 

Here's an example of specifying a particular script (jqtouch.js) in object 
syntax, to 
provide a custom type:

{{{
enhance({
    loadScripts: ['foo.js', {src: 'jqtouch.js', type: 'application/x-javascript'}]
});
}}}

Note that when using the object instead of a string, the src attribute must be 
specified 
(similarly, in loadStyles, 'href' is required). 

Overall, both options behave pretty much the same. You can use iecondition 
parameters in both loadStyles and loadScripts if you really have to.

Hope that helps!
Let us know if you have any more questions.

Thanks fantastic - thanks for your quick reply!

I had tried that originally - but of course, I used 'href' instead of 'src' so 
it
wouldn't have worked ;)

Thanks again!

No problem. 
I know I've confused src/href in those arrays before too, and then wondered why 
it 
wasn't working. Agh! 
One of many reasons it made sense for us to implement the string option. :)

Anyway, hope that works for you!
