Copy this code and paste it in your HTML 
  1. // Add this onDocumentReady function to the end of the jQuery.js file. 
  2. // It MUST be in the jquery file to work correctly.
  3. $(function(){
  4. 	var scripts = /\?(.*)/, files = [], path = /^.*\//, loaded = 0, count = 0;
  5.  
  6. 	$('script').each(function(){
  7. 		var src = $(this).attr('src');
  8. 		if (!scripts.test(src)) return;
  9. 		var pathto = src.match(path);
  10. 		files = files.concat($.map(src.match(scripts).pop().split(','), function(e,i){
  11. 			return pathto+e+'.js'
  12. 		}));
  13. 	})
  14.  
  15. 	count = files.length;
  16.  
  17. 	$.each(files, function(){
  18. 		$.getScript(this, function(){
  19. 			loaded++;
  20. 			if(loaded == count && typeof onBackload == 'function')
  21. 				onBackload(loaded)
  22. 		})
  23. 	})
  24. });
  25.  
  26. /**
  27.  * If you have the following script tags:
  28.  * 	<script src="/path/to/jquery.min.js?somefile,otherfile.min,thirdfile"></script>
  29.  * 	<script src="/other/path/foo.js?different.file,final.file"></script>
  30.  * This script will "backload" the following files:
  31.  * 	/path/to/somefile.js
  32.  *	/path/to/otherfile.min.js
  33.  * 	/path/to/thirdfile.js
  34.  * 	/other/path/different.file.js
  35.  *	/other/path/final.file.js
  36.  */
  37.  
  38. // And if you declare a function named "onBackload", it will be fired when all the scripts are loaded
  39. // This is handy for getting things going once you're confident your scripts have all been included.
  40. function onBackload(loaded){
  41. 	alert('All ' + loaded + ' files backloaded!')
  42. }
