JavaScript Autoloader?

Viewed 13441

Is there a solution out there where I can have JavaScript/jQuery autoload dependent files when needed? For example, consider this scenario:

  1. I have an autoloader script listening for when a particular script needs to be loaded.
  2. A jQuery dialog() plugin is called.
  3. The autoloader is told to listen for when this plugin is called, and loads the jQuery UI.
  4. If more dialogs are called in the future, the required script will not be loaded.

Is this too much effort for simply trying to limit bandwidth? Should I just include all of the core files in one superpackage and be done with it?

Thank you for your time.
