Why call $.getScript instead of using the – cdhowie Dec 08 '10 at 22:24

Question

No need to do that..

You do that if you want to load the script dynamically (when needed, and not from the beginning)

The script might depend on jQuery, so it would be a way to prevent the browser trying to load it if it hasn't loaded jQuery.

There are a number of reasons that jQuery might not load, from a simple network failure to a CDN not being whitelisted by a NoScript user.

maybe to control when a script is loaded? On a javascript heavy page, it may be worth waiting to load some things that are non essential until after essential things are loaded.
