best way to call up javascript for different pages?

I’ve been thinking of adding a TV that only the super admin sees to place certain scripts styles for individual pages. I guess you could have it default to a chunk or snippet and add to or replace it.

That seems like the easiest for me.

Then if you need to know what pages have something specific, you could use tvExplorer to search.

Thanks Chuck for the suggestion. I haven’t installed tvExplorer yet. Somehow I hold back from installing any plugin as I still hope the site won’t be launch until the v0.97 comes out

Have another question for you JS guru

Will it make the page loads faster if I place the script in the bottom of the page instead ?

I suppose it would, but unless it’s a big chunk of JS I doubt it would make much difference to the user.
Also bear in mind about when you need to access it it’s functions.

The most gain you’ll probably see is in combining all the js into one include. http://aciddrop.com/php-speedy/ has some info on this.

I find that with JS that is from remote sources (ie google analytics) can cause a delay in the page load so it is better to keep these at the bottom.

As long as your not doing anything invloved in you js it should not slow the page loading time.
Get the dev toolbar in firefox and turn off js and load the page, that was you can see if the js is causing a lag....
