jsapi fails with header type "application/xhtml"

[John D'Orazio]

I am having errors using the Google JsAPI loader when serving the document as "application/xhtml+xml".

The JsAPI script is using "document.write" to add scripts to the page. It should be using "document.createElement".

Doing an online search I found the bug reported elsewhere, but it needs to be reported to the JsAPI team:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Step 1. Create a web page using Google JSAPI.
Step 2. Serve as `application/xhtml+xml`
Step 3. Silently fail, Javascript scope fatal errors.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect it to not die, or for it to warn with a *very* descriptive alert() telling the developer that the MIME type / browser combo isn't supported.

If you send a callback argument to the google.load call, it will use the document.createElement method. Try something like this:

google.load(API|LIBRARY, VERSION, {callback : function(){alert('ready.')}});
