I'm currently reading this article on Deferring the loading of Javascript: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/best-practices/payload#DeferLoadingJS
They use this script:
<script type="text/javascript">
// Add a script element as a child of the body
function downloadJSAtOnload() {
var element = document.createElement("script");
element.src = "deferredfunctions.js";
document.body.appendChild(element);
}
// Check for browser support of event handling capability
if (window.addEventListener)
window.addEventListener("load", downloadJSAtOnload, false);
else if (window.attachEvent)
window.attachEvent("onload", downloadJSAtOnload);
else window.onload = downloadJSAtOnload;
</script>
I currently have 4 separate Javascript files that I'd like to "defer".
How would I achieve this using Google's example code?
Many thanks for any pointers.
Following script is working.... just copy paste below html and javascript in an html file and enjoy

Welcome Dear michael mc gurk Below is another answer of StackOverFlow. And it is also pretty handy
enter link description here
(function() {
function getScript(url,success){
var script=document.createElement('script');
script.src=url;
var head=document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0],
done=false;
script.onload=script.onreadystatechange = function(){
if ( !done && (!this.readyState || this.readyState == 'loaded' || this.readyState == 'complete') ) {
done=true;
success();
script.onload = script.onreadystatechange = null;
head.removeChild(script);
}
};
head.appendChild(script);
}
getScript('http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.2/jquery.min.js',function(){
// YOUR CODE GOES HERE AND IS EXECUTED AFTER JQUERY LOADS
});
})();
I would really combine jQuery and jQuery-UI into one file and use a url to it. If you REALLY wanted to load them separately, just chain the getScripts:
getScript('http://myurltojquery.js',function(){
getScript('http://myurltojqueryUI.js',function(){
//your tab code here
})
});
Happy Coding :)
In the downloadJSAtOnload()
function, you just load all three scripts. Here's the simplest copy/paste method:
// Add a script element as a child of the body
function downloadJSAtOnload() {
var element = document.createElement("script");
element.src = "deferredfunctions.js";
document.body.appendChild(element);
element = document.createElement("script");
element.src = "deferredfunctions2.js";
document.body.appendChild(element);
element = document.createElement("script");
element.src = "deferredfunctions3.js";
document.body.appendChild(element);
}
// Check for browser support of event handling capability
if (window.addEventListener)
window.addEventListener("load", downloadJSAtOnload, false);
else if (window.attachEvent)
window.attachEvent("onload", downloadJSAtOnload);
else window.onload = downloadJSAtOnload;
And, here's a little cleaner way:
function loadScript(src) {
var element = document.createElement("script");
element.src = src;
document.body.appendChild(element);
}
// Add a script element as a child of the body
function downloadJSAtOnload() {
loadScript("script1.js");
loadScript("script2.js");
loadScript("script3.js");
}
// Check for browser support of event handling capability
if (window.addEventListener)
window.addEventListener("load", downloadJSAtOnload, false);
else if (window.attachEvent)
window.attachEvent("onload", downloadJSAtOnload);
else window.onload = downloadJSAtOnload;
