# Load script asynchronously

 * In a text widget, I have put some JS to load a content piece from another website.
 * How can I make this widget (or at least the JS) load asynchronously? Also, I’d
   like to set a timeout, in case this other site is slow or offline.
 * In case you are curious, the JS in the text widget looks something like this:
 *     ```
       <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.domain.com/javascript/jquery/jquery-1.6.1.min.js"></script>
       <script src="http://www.domain.com/javascript/jquery/jquery.bxSlider.min.js"></script>
       <script src="http://www.domain.com/javascript/jquery/jquery.easing.1.3.js"></script>
       <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.domain.com/stylesheet.css"/>
       <script  src="http://www.domain.com/getwidgetscript&widget_type=content_tb&show_description=1&show_type=horizontal&show_once_quantity=1&products_limit=20&categories=37"></script>
       ```

 * There is not way that I know of that this can be doen using WP so to speak. Someone
   correct me if I am wrong. You could google how to load scripts async and use 
   the methods you find and place them in the footer of your site instead of a widget.

 * Thanks, Justin. How do I put the code in footer and have the content appear in
   the location I desire?
