多浏览器兼容的动态加载 JavaScript 与 CSS
作者：
Omar AL Zabir这位MVP总是喜欢搞些稀奇古怪同时又很实用的小东西，并且还十分值得参考。最近他就做了一个叫做ensure的小工具用于动态加载JavaScript、CSS与HTML，而且IE、Firefox、Opera、Safari都支持了，那么我们就来看看ensure是如何做到动态加载JavaScript与CSS的。
在介绍ensure内部的实现之前，让我们先来看看其功能：
ensure({
html: "popup.html",
javascript: "popup.js",
css: "popup.css"
}, function() {
Popup.show("hello world");
}
);
在这段代码中，ensure首先会确保popup.html、popup.js、popup.css这3个文件的加载，如果都没加载过ensure就会动态加载它们；如果已经加载过了，ensure不会再次加载。在确保这3个文件都加载后，ensure会调用后面的匿名函数，也就是执行Popup.show("hello world");。
接下来，就让我们看看ensure是如何动态加载JavaScript与CSS的。
加载JavaScript
在ensure当中，加载JavaScript分两种情况来执行，也就是Safari与非Safari这两种情况。
在IE、Firefox、Opera中加载JavaScript
在这三款浏览器中加载JavaScript，其实只需要创建一个script元素，把src指向要加载的URL，最后把script元素追加到head元素上，那就搞掂了。此项工作是在HttpLibrary.createScriptTag()中完成的。不过我们不仅仅要加载JavaScript，同时还需要知道它什么时候完成加载，这可以通过script元素的onload事件或onreadystatechange事件来实现。
在Safari中加载JavaScript
因为Safari 2不支持onload或者onreadystatechange，所以只能手动通过XHR把URL读去过来，然后再手动eval这段代码，这就带来了一个限制──只能加载本域的JavaScript文件。在ensure当中，eval的工作是通过HttpLibrary.globalEval()来完成的。为了让JavaScript代码在全局（global）上下文中eval，ensure还是使用了创建script元素的方法，并将要eval的JavaScript置于其内，最后把script元素追加到head元素内。
细心的人肯定要问，为什么HttpLibrary.globalEval()要如此设计，而非直接window.eval或者eval.call。这是因为，window.eval和eval.call都无法在IE6中实现和script标签加载JavaScript代码一模一样的效果，这两种做法的eval在IE6下仍然不是在全局上下文中执行的。搜索一下你就会发现一些相关的讨论，例如jQuery就曾经使用window.execScript()来完成此项任务。不过最终大家都发现添加script元素才是最好的跨浏览器解决方案，所以现在的jQuery和ensure都是如此实现的了。
加载CSS
相对于加载JavaScript而言，加载CSS就简单多了，而且方法也是类似的：在head元素内直接加入link元素就可以了。这也正是loadCSS()所完成的工作。
实际上，ensure没有确保CSS完成加载后再执行下去。这估计是因为浏览器都能够在CSS加载完成后自动应用到页面上，因此Omar AL Zabir就认为CSS的加载顺序是无关紧要的，不过假如CSS加载速度实在太慢，其实还是会影响显示效果的。
在IE6中加载CSS
这次需要特别照顾的是IE6，而非Safari。IE6在往head元素添加link元素时，必须在window的上下文中完成，因此添加link的函数通过call调用切换了上下文。
总结
实际上动态加载JavaScript与CSS都并不难，在大多数情况下只需要向head元素追加对应的子元素就可以了，只有Safari2和IE6这两款古老的浏览器是需要特殊照顾的。
