JavaScript Load Order

Question

I am working with both amq.js (ActiveMQ) and Google Maps. I load my scripts in this order

Answer 1

Is there a way to make sure both scripts load before I use them?

Yes.

Put the code you want loaded last (your application.js stuff) into prototype's document.observe. This should ensure that the code will load only after prototype + other stuff is finished and ready. (If you are familiar with jQuery, this function is similar to jQuery's $(document).ready )

Answer 2

You can also use the built in SharePoint javascript method to control the execution of your scripts;

_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("yourFunction");
