What's the best way to work with jquery plugins ? - El Forum - 12-05-2009 [eluser]chefnelone[/eluser] Hello I use to work with jquery plugins. Usually I load them in my view page (let say index.php). I'm just wondering if is there a better way to load a jquery plugin. Let's say I use to work with just 1 of 2 menu plugins: menu1 and menu2. For them I have the folders: Menu1 and Menu2 and inside of each one the js and css files to make the plugin works. At the moment I choose one of them I insert the path in view/index.php: <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url();?>plugins/Menu1/menu1.css" /> [removed] [removed] or: <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url();?>plugins/Menu2/menu2.css" /> [removed] [removed] My question is: is there a better way to work with this kind of plugins. Maybe saving them in a folder and then loading then from a controller ? hope someone understand what I mean...

Very handy. Here is one: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/101236/ There are more but I haven't personally used them.
