[wp-hackers] Including javascript in the footer

[Philip Walton]

I've tested wp_enqueue_script() and it doesn't work if called from any 
action after 'wp_print_scripts' in a page request.

The Codex recommends: "Use the wp_enqueue_scripts action to call this 
function, or admin_enqueue_scripts to call it on the admin side. Calling 
it outside of an action can lead to troubles."

In my case I'm making a programmatic decision partway through the page 
request whether or not I want to include a script in the footer, and 
unfortunately, that decision is being made after the 'wp_print_scripts' 
hook is fired.

So what should I do? I don't want to just echo the script markup in 
'admin_print_footer_scripts' because that just seems wrong. However, I 
can't really think of any other good way.

Any ideas?
