I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but thought I'd ask anyway.

If my site references a scripted named whatever.js, is it possible to get whatever.js from within that script? Like:

var scriptName = ???



if (typeof jQuery !== function) {

    throw new Error(

        jQuery's script needs to be loaded before  + 

        scriptName + . Check the <script> tag order.);

}

Probably more trouble than it's worth for dependency checking, but what the hell.

var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script');

var lastScript = scripts[scripts.length-1];

var scriptName = lastScript.src;

alert("loading: " + scriptName);
