[OpenLayers-Users] Firefox help needed for google sphericalMercator <OpenLayers.Bounds is not a constructor>

[Linda_Rawson]

I found the solution.  It seems there is a slight difference in the DOM
between the two browsers.

function loadScript(path, notCtx) {
  var url = urlPath(path, notCtx);
  // Internet Explorer
  if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") == 0) {
	  document.write ('<' + 'script src="' + url + '"'+'
type="text/javascript"><' + '/script>');
  } else {
	var element = document.createElement('script');
    // set the 'src' attribute of the element
    element.setAttribute('src', url);
    element.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
    // insert the new node into the current document
    document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(element);  
  }
}

function init() {
  // Internet Explorer
  if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") == 0) {

  var sloc = "";
  var SCRIPT_NAME = "googleKey.js";
  var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
  for (var i = 0; i < scripts.length; i++) {
    var src = scripts[i].getAttribute('src');
    if (src) {
      var index = src.lastIndexOf(SCRIPT_NAME); 
      // is it found, at the end of the URL?
      if ((index > -1) && (index + SCRIPT_NAME.length == src.length)) {  
        sloc = src.slice(0, -SCRIPT_NAME.length);
        break;
      }
    }
  }
  ____path = sloc;
  }

  loadScript(GOOGLE_TILES_SERVER + GOOGLE_TILES_KEY, true);
}
