title: jQuery not loading when reloading window
body: <p>I have a strange situation where jQuery is not loading into the window object. My app is an Electron app. My startup page does in fact load jQuery. But while the startup page is loading, I have some code that decides whether to reload the browser window with a different url. That url is another html page in the app and it contains a reference to the jQuery library in the script tag. jQuery does appear to load in this new page because I am able to open DevTools and type $ in the console and it indicates that it is loaded. However, in my javascript code, which is embedded in the page, the $ is not recognized. I am not loading any other scripts that could conflict with the jQuery script. The jQuery script is the only script loaded. What could be preventing jQuery from being attached to the window object? This only happens when I load that new page using window.location.href. If I don't load that page, but simply use jQuery in the startup page, jQuery is attached to the window object.</p>
  
  <p>Here is how I am loading jQuery:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;head&gt;
      &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="../../jquery/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried waiting for jQuery to load using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>function defer(method) {
      if (window.jQuery) {
          method();
      } else {
          setTimeout(function() { defer(method) }, 50);
      }
  }
  
  defer(function () {
      alert("jQuery is now loaded");
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but window.jQuery never gets set.</p>
