Opera throws exception

[chris]

Running Opera 10.63 I get this error:

"Uncaught exception: TypeError: 'google.maps.Geocoder' is not a
constructor"

It works fine on Firefox, Safari, IE, and Chrome. If I save the page
to my desktop and run it from there, Opera will load the API without
error.

So why would running the page from my localhost not work on Opera?
I'm pulling my hair out. :-)

<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function initialize() {
geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();

var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(0, 0);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 1,
center: latlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
myOptions);

}
//]]>
</script>

Could you please post a link to your page. An incomplete excerpt from your page isn't enough to diagnose the problem.

I'd just like to point out that Opera is not one of the supported
browsers for the maps v3 API: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#browsersupport

This page sends Opera application/xhtml+xml, while other browsers get
text/html. Since the page uses document.write it all falls apart in
Opera.

You can load with a DOM-compliant method by specifying the 'callback' parameter. For example:

<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true&amp;callback=initialize"></script>
