By default the browser downloads and executes the script as soon as it reaches it in html file(unless defer
or async
attributes are used to force parallel download), So if you include a JS Library and then write the script dependent on the JS Library everything works fine.
However I've noticed that it's not the case with a partial pages. If it contains a library and script dependent on it, then before the library is downloaded and executed, the remaining scripts are called which create a problem as they were dependent on library.
In my example I use HTMX partial page load to load HTML content which includes Plotly.js
library and after it, html code and JS script required to create a chart. E.g.
<script src="https://cdn.plot.ly/plotly-2.20.0.min.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<div id="f657405b-14c4-4ca1-aef4-88d5842739f5" class="plotly-graph-div" style="height:256px; width:100%;"></div>

When I refresh the page it loads perfectly as JS Library is downloaded and executed before chart's html and script. however in partial page load, before JS library is downloaded and executed, each plot's JS script is called which raises the error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: Plotly is not defined
So, How can serial load be enforced in partial pages?
or alternatively is there a better way to include JS libraries for specific pages to avoid this issue?
