I'm trying to use head.js. Getting some weird action. Below works but if I comment out "alert('hi')" in the script in the BODY, then the head.js doesn't seem to work.
So I tried commenting out all the head.js stuff and used a standard tag for each JS library. And it works as expected. But when using Head.js, it fails if the "alert('hi')" is commented out. Obviously, for production, I want to remove this alert but then I get this error message: "ReferenceError: $ is not defined" ... ??? But if I uncomment out the alert, then it all works and pulls data from the DB ???
Any thoughts?

The
alert()stalls the script execution enough for jQuery to actually load. Head.js loads the scripts in parallel and doesn't block, so you have to use it with a callback:Or put that code into a separate script file and put it after jQuery in your
head.jscall.
