Re: Silent javascript download+queue+iframe

Don't forget the "defer" attribute!  It doesn't improve download time,
but if your scripts execute any code when they load, the browser
**may** defer the execution until after the page is rendered.

<script src="myScriptIMightNeedLater.js" defer></script>
