Loading gmaps api dynamically from a chrome extension content script

[Andrey]

Hi there!

i'm trying to load gmap scripts dynamically form via chrome extension. I use the following code and call it from extension's content script:

    var script = document.createElement("script");

    script.src = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3&sensor=false";

    script.type = "text/javascript";

    document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(script);

a very popular solution as you can see )

However, this only adds a corresponding tag into the head section, but doesn't execute the script.

e.g. main.js is not loaded.

Of coгrse, any further attempts to instantiate a map fail.. 

Beforehand thanks for any suggestions!

Have you seen the recommended solution

note that including the 'callback' parameter modifies the behaviour
