copied!<p>This seems to work for me:</p> <pre><code><html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> // has the google object loaded? if (window.google && window.google.load) { google.load("jquery", "1.3.2"); } else { document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://joecrawford.com/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"><\/script>'); } window.onload = function() { $('#test').css({'border':'2px solid #f00'}); }; </script> </head> <body> <p id="test">hello jQuery</p> </body> </html> </code></pre> <p>The way it works is to use the <code>google</code> object that calling <a href="http://www.google.com/jsapi" rel="noreferrer">http://www.google.com/jsapi</a> loads onto the <code>window</code> object. If that object is not present, we are assuming that access to Google is failing. If that is the case, we load a local copy using <code>document.write</code>. <em>(I'm using my own server in this case, please use your own for testing this).</em></p> <p>I also test for the presence of <code>window.google.load</code> - I could also do a <code>typeof</code> check to see that things are objects or functions as appropriate. But I think this does the trick.</p> <p>Here's just the loading logic, since code highlighting seems to fail since I posted the whole HTML page I was testing:</p> <pre><code>if (window.google && window.google.load) { google.load("jquery", "1.3.2"); } else { document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://joecrawford.com/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"><\/script>'); } </code></pre> <p>Though I must say, I'm not sure that if this is a concern for your site visitors you should be fiddling with the <a href="https://developers.google.com/speed/libraries/" rel="noreferrer">Google AJAX Libraries API</a> at all.</p> <p><strong>Fun fact</strong>: <em>I tried initially to use a try..catch block for this in various versions but could not find a combination that was as clean as this. I'd be interested to see other implementations of this idea, purely as an exercise.</em></p>
