Your code doesn't look like the code in this example:
http://code.google.com/apis/loader/#Dynamic
I think the problem is this function:
function loadMaps() {
var otherParams = {"other_params":"callback=mapsLoaded&sensor=false"};
google.load("maps", "3", otherParams );
}
With the callback option hidden inside otherParams, google.load() probably
does not realize that you need an asynchronous load - so it does a
document.write() which erases your document! Then you get document.body is
null and such.
Instead, change it to:
function loadMaps() {
google.load( 'maps', '3', {
callback: mapsLoaded,
other_params: 'sensor=false'
});
}
Also, you don't need an API key in your initial script tag that loads the
jsapi loader, unless you plan to start using the Earth API or another API
which needs a key. The V3 Maps API doesn't need one, so you can use:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi";></script>
