Detect Disconnect plugin from javascript

Question

A disconnect plugin in chrome is blocking social network widgets. And it's good. But it makes the page look odd for the visitor. Is there a way one could detect a failed social network plugin loading in javascript so it would be possible to hide the block altogether?

Answer 1

You can try something like this:

dependencyAvailabilityCheckInterval = setInterval(doDependenciesExist, 500);

function doDependenciesExist()
{
    if(typeof FB !== 'undefined')
        return;

    alert("Looks like Facebook ist blocked!");
    // do rearranging or hiding of content
}

You could extend/replace typeof(FB) by any other js library you might need for your website or service.
