q - loading js file into cache

[aum]

Hi,

What's the simplest way to fetch a js file from the current website, then
cache it?

I'm using dojo, which has a large js file when using the built version.
As a mercy for dialup users, I want to serve up a tiny 'loader' html page
(containing an animated 'loading...' gif) which, when loaded:

1. retrieves the big js file, and plants it in the cache
2. when the js file is retrieved, then sets document.location to
the url of the real website page which uses this js file, and
thus redirects to that page

Cheers
aum

Seems I've answered my own question.

What's working for me is to insert, just before the final </html>
at the end, the lines:

<script type="text/javascript" src="path/to/big/js/file.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.location = "next-page.html";
</script>
