Is it possible to turn off ‘use strict’ within the Google maps drawing library (accessed through http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?libraries=drawing&sensor=false).
This has never been an issue for me before but as I’m sure some of you are aware, JavaScript’s strict mode is incompatible with asp.net’s __doPostBack method and throws an error in Firefox and Chrome( Illegal access to a strict mode caller function, or access censored in ff).
Alas both the drawing library and the ability to __doPostBack are imperative to the application I am working on, so I cannot simply remove one or the other.
As far as I am aware it is not possible to simply download the library independently of the full maps api and comment out the offending line. If I am wrong on this I will be overjoyed.
I wasn’t sure whether or not to tag this as JavaScript so If I was in the wrong there apologies.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Chris.
Just download the library, save it as
.js, and comment out (or remove) the"use strict"line.
