i am using google search JSAPI in my local search app. Everything works fine

  • 0

i am using google search JSAPI in my local search app. Everything works fine in all the browsers except IE 8. The problem is after the specific line of code my jquery base object and google objects are drreferenced.

Its a straight forward code. I am able to reproduce the problm using this jsfiddle.

html code is

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Test Map</title>
        <script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?" type="text/javascript"></script>

    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="map_canvas"></div>
    </body>
</html>

and JS

$(function() {
    alert(1);
    google.load('search',1);
    alert($);

    google.setOnLoadCallback(function() {       
        alert(2);
    });
});

after the line google.load('search',1) i got the following error

Error: Object doesn't support this property or method

on $ and google.

This is totally a nightmare. I am fighting with this for hours without a luck. Any IE experts here got an idea?

    Change your jsFiddle to “No wrap (body)” and modify your function like so…

    //$(function() {
    //alert(1);
    google.load('search',1);
    alert($);

    google.setOnLoadCallback(function() {       
        alert(2);
    });
//});
