[wp-hackers] wp _ enqueue _ script() not working while in the Loop

Hi Otto,

thanks for the clarification on how the scripts adding works.

If there is such an array "in_footer", wouldn't it be possible to simply add an entry to that for my script? I'm aware that I would lose things like dependency checks, but actually I don't need those.

That's a suggestion that I will look into, but it will probably only solve the issue half, as I'm not only wanting to enqueue the script if a Shortcode is found, but also if my template tag function is executed (which obviously also happens after wp_head).

Thanks!
