Local scripts loaded using getScript isn't available (directly) in Firefox 3

Local scripts loaded using getScript isn't available (directly) in Firefox 3.

See these three threads for discussions on the problem:

 http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/a1c82c2226f781  http://www.nabble.com/$.getScript-in-Firefox-3-td18108981s27240.html  http://www.henrytapia.com/archives/2008/04/22/load-only-the-jquery-plugins-you-need-when-you-need-them/ (at the end)

this is one way of fixing the problem $.getScript = function(url, callback){

if ($.browser.mozilla) {

var _callback = callback; callback = function () {

setTimeout(function(){

_callback();

}, 50);

};

}

$.ajax({

type: "GET", url: url, success: callback, dataType: "script", cache: cache

});

};

Ok, I read the article. Nothing close to a solution is presented. The best we can do is keep that article alive and get to a fix.

We need, at least, a minimalistic test case to reproduce the problem.

Another thought: if this is a race condition of some kind (onload event firing while the script is still being evaluated), it might help to try loading a very large test script.

Just wanted to note that this still occurs in Jquery 1.3.2. A fix is available in one of the links that the OP posted, which basically amounts to forcing all $.getScript requests to be processed as if they were cross-domain requests.
