hi,

in what order does ss link javascript files?
because in my page.ss i have:

<% require javascript(xxx/jquery-1.3.2.min.js) %>
<% require javascript(xxx/ui.accordion.js) %>

but when i test the page, ui.accordion.js is always linked bevor jquery...

thanks

Can anyone provide insight into this? I'm having a problem with the javascript load order as well. I put my <% require javascript %> tag in my .ss file just before I need the functionality, but the included js file is being linked too early (it's being linked before jquery, which it depends on). So I can't use the library because it consistently loads before jquery.js.

For the benefit of anyone else who has this problem:

Don't link to the javascript files from your templates. Instead, load them in the init() call in the relevant controller. For example:

public function init()
{
	Requirements::javascript('path/to/jquery.js');
	Requirements::javascript('path/to/library/that/requires/jquery/lib.js');
	parent::init();
}

That works for me, as now jquery is linked before the other libraries that depend on it.

UPDATE: This is not an all-purpose solution. This fixed one particular situation, but doesn't truly solve the underlying problem. If anyone can shed light on how to really control the load order it would be helpful.
