How can I check if a JS file has been included already?

javascript

Solution

Here's a test to see if a script has been included based on the path to the js file:

function isScriptAlreadyIncluded(src){
    var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName("script");
    for(var i = 0; i < scripts.length; i++) 
       if(scripts[i].getAttribute('src') == src) return true;
    return false;
}

It will work for all scripts not loaded through AJAX, though you may want to modify it if you have jsonp code running.

Problem

I have split my javascript in different files. I want to prevent, that javascript files are loaded twice. How can I do that?
