NOTE: This example only works in Internet Explorer.Inserting script into the page using
document.write does allow for scripts to be downloaded in parallel with each other in Internet Explorer, but other types of resources (images, stylesheets, etc.) are not downloaded in parallel. Also, the document.write statements must all be in the same inline script block in the page. If you load this page in Firefox you'll notice it takes 2 seconds longer to load because the scripts (which each take 2 seconds to download) are downloaded sequentially in Firefox whereas in Internet Explorer they are downloaded in parallel.<HTML>
