Question

To add Google’s plusone button on your website the following script tag is to be inserted (for explicit load).

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js">
  {"parsetags": "explicit"}
</script>

It looks pretty straight forward in HTML. However I wan’t to insert the script using a JS file. So I use the following code:

var e = document.createElement('script');
e.src = "https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js";
e.id = "googplusonescript";
e.innerHTML = '{"parsetags": "explicit"}';
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(e);

It works pretty awesome in all the browsers except IE because IE doesn’t allow us to write the innerHTML of script tags. Anywork arounds anyone ? (I have jquery inserted in the page. So can use jquery too.)

Came across the same issue.
Under IE you should use
script.text = ‘{“parsetags”: “explicit”}’;
instead of script.innerHTML
