Quick Start
Add the script to the <head> of your document (or before all other scripts using _async):
<script src="//raw.github.com/niftylettuce/javascript-async-callback/master/async.min.js"></script>Then asynchronously load a script with a callback function:
(function liveDemo() {
var src = '//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery.min.js'
function callback() {
alert('It works!')
}
_async.load(document, src, callback)
}())... and you're done!
