MarkerManager and DragZoom control no work in google map ajax API.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

hi,

I had use google ajax api to load google map.
however, it is not work with Marker manager and dragZoomControl.

i think this is due to when load the load sequence of both API (both
library assume something there..but no until google map api is load).

my solution is to included the google map api with is not ajax and the ajax
one. (i need to use ajax library also.)

but the only issue is it will load the same library twice.
(http://maps.google.com/intl/en_ALL/mapfiles/126d/maps2.api/main.js) which
can slow down the load of the page.

any idea ?

This is related to this issue:

Randy has written a dynamic loader in a branch in the library that you can 
check out. 
The basic solution is to use dynamic script creation to load in the libraries, 
after 
the Maps API has loaded in, and to not use them until they've been loaded in 
(using 
script.onreadystate or script.onload callbacks).

You can use a function like this to load in a extension script and know when 
it's done:

function getJs() {
  var script = document.createElement("script");
  script.src = "http://imagine-it.org/google/slideshowcontrol.js";

  // Firefox
  script.onload = loadMap;

  // IE
  script.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (/loaded|complete/.test(this.readyState)) {
      loadMap();
    }
  }

document.body.appendChild(script);
}
