Since 2 days now I'm struggling with a problem - when I include the
google script in my site the onload event no longer works - when I
remove or outcomment the script I get my alert dummy again.
I'm pretty sure that I missed something obvious - but I seem kinda
blind. Would be great if someone could point me in the right direction

<body onLoad="test();">

You forgot an ending '</script>' tag after '<script type="text/
javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/> js?sensor=false"/
>'. Browsers require that even when loading external scripts

Sorry, didn't notice your attempt to end it the XML way with "/>". I
don't think the script tag is considered a single instant like that.
At least, browsers seem to ignore that and want the full '</script>'
ending.

Same problem here. The only working solution for me now is don't use onload.
I'm using jQuery
$(document).ready(){
}
instead of onload(){
}
Good luck.

You're right - adding a full fledged '</script>' makes the whole thing
work. IMO - writing it this way is quite strange - but since even lynx
is handling the script tag that way I wonder whether this is defined
in the standard (and above all - why it would be).
Anyway - thanks a lot.
