function includeJS(jsPath) {

    // bogus URL/path to script?
    if (!isString(jsPath) || !jsPath) {
        return;
    }

    // remove extraneous spaces - just in case
    jsPath = jsPath.trim();

    // has the given script already been 'included'?
    var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName("SCRIPT");
    var scriptsLen = scripts.length;
    for (var i = 0; i < scriptsLen; i++) {
        if (scripts.src == jsPath) {
            // the requested file has already been added (or was defined/linked from the start.
            return;
        }
    }

    // everything is ok, lets include the script.
    var script = document.createElement("SCRIPT");

    script.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript");
    script.setAttribute("src", jsPath);

    document.getElementsByTagName("HEAD")[0].appendChild( script );

} probably far from perfect but it's helped me out of a jam now and again.
