Failed to use with another JQuery-based library

[spl]

I apologize in advance for the poor description in this issue. I'm not really sure what the problem is, but I thought I would leave this here in case other people run into a similar problem.

I'm trying to use Flot, a JQuery-based library for plotting charts. If I use ghcjs-jquery, the Flot code (jquery.flot.js) does not load properly.** That is, it does not extend the jQuery object with its functionality, such as adding a plot function. If I use the simple FFI below (with a static jquery.js and without using ghcjs-jquery), the Flot code works. I only need selectElement at this point.

type JQuery = JSRef JQuery_
data JQuery_

selectElement :: (MonadIO m, IsElement e) => e -> m JQuery
selectElement = liftIO . jq_selectElement . unElement . toElement

foreign import javascript unsafe "jQuery($1)" jq_selectElement :: JSRef Element -> IO JQuery

** Using ghcjs-jquery, I have seen Flot work intermittently (once in a while on refresh). With only the above, it works consistently.

My guess is that the JavaScript loading is somehow causing the problem. Our output JS is relatively large.
