Our "loader.js" script is stored within the "/assets/" folder. Let's see if we can | |
load this file using different forms of SRC URLs in conjunction with a BASE tag | |
HREF that places the current page context inside the assets folder. We're going to | |
try using both a RELATIVE and a DOCUMENT ROOT-RELATIVE path. | |

// Since the document is going to block-and-wait for this Script tag to load, it means | |
// that the last <script> element on the page is currently THIS ONE. As such, let's grab | |
// all of the script tags and then take the one in the last index. | |
var nodes = document.querySelectorAll( "script" ); | |
var thisNode = nodes[ nodes.length - 1 ]; | |
// Log the "?v=" portion of the SRC attribute. | |
console.log( "Loaded:", thisNode.src.split( "?" )[ 1 ] ); |
