Use jQuery to load scripts asynchronously

jquery.loadasync.js
// Load scripts asynchronously
jQuery.loadScript = function(url, options) {
// Don't use $.getScript since it disables caching
options = $.extend(options || {}, {
dataType: 'script',
cache: true,
url: url
};
jQuery.ajax(options);
};

A bit simpler:

    options = $.extend({
            'dataType': 'script',
            'cache': true,
            'url': url
        }, options);

Will work fine if options is undefined. What do you think?

true, but my way enforces the dataType and cache.

Oh, hadn’t thought of it that way.
