Conditional jQuery Implementation

/ Published in: JavaScript

1) if jQuery is already loaded into a browsers' cache -> do nothing
2) if the object is undefined, write a script-element into the source which references google's minified jquery file.
3) if jQuery is still undefined (let's assume Google is down). write a script reference to our local copy into the source.

You could also use the if statements to define different JS files for the frontend and the backend.
