The code found here:
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false
Uses document.write()! ARGGGH!!!
This will overwrite the entire page if anyone tries to initialize the
API after the page has loaded.
PLEASE change this:
function getScript(src) {
document.write('<' + 'script src="' + src + '"' + ' type="text/
javascript"><' + '/script>');
}
To this:
function getScript(src) {
var scrpNde = document.createElement('script');
scrpNde.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
scrpNde.setAttribute('src', src);
var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0);
head.appendChild(scrpNde);
}
Or something like that that does not use document.write.
This is killing my AJAX application.
The W3C will back me up on this. Here's what they have to say about
document.write:
"Try to avoid using document.write() in real life JavaScript code. The
entire HTML page will be overwritten if document.write() is used
inside a function, or after the page is loaded. However,
document.write() is an easy way to demonstrate JavaScript output in a
tutorial."
I'm surprised the smart folks at Google Maps would make this
mistake. :)
I can overwrite the document.write method, but that just feels like a
dirty solution.
