Inject scripts in a widget

Hi

I'm trying to create a widget, which is a wrapper for a jQuery based image gallery library. I got it work if css and javascript are injected in the widgetset descriptor. Then I call JSNI for gallery bootstrap and everything is all right.

Now I want to let the user choose the gallery configuration, which means change a javascript file and two css files. I've got the css be included in the DOM as link elements. css files are referenced as resources, theme resources. When the configuration changes, href attribute is changed. The problem is with the css script. All the scripts cannot be included simultaneously, so I have to dynamically change the script for the selected gallery configuration.

I've added a script element in the DOM of the component. When configuration changes, the src attribute is changed to reference the new file, also a theme resource. With Firebug I can see the attribute changes, but the browser does not load it's content. In fact a javascript exception is thrown, probably because the script is not loaded. Besides, I musn't call the gallery bootstrap until that script is loaded.

I've though to add those scripts as strings instead of a resource and replace the text of the script element with the new one. I don't know if that is an elegant solution and if it would work. The scripts are about 100KB in size.

I've also thought to create one component for each gallery model, but it does I don't like it too much either.

Any ideas?

Thanks
