[IPython-dev] Seeing javascript visualization from nbviewer?

[Brian Granger]

If the library is aware of require.js, you should use that. But the
calling syntax for require is similar to `getScript` is similar - the
second argument is a function that gets called when the libraries are
loaded. These days, many JavaScript libraries have to be loaded with
require.js in the notebook. With IPython 2.0, all different ways
should work fine on nbviewer/nbconvert though.
