"Unmatched </link> encountered" error in WebKit/Safari 3.1 OSX

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

hi,

#What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Safari/WebKit browser on OSX (platform I've used) 
2. open example Ajax Feed api page: 
http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxfeeds/documentation/helloworld.html
3. Open Error console (Inspector tool is available in Safari/Webkit)
[optional]4. hit refresh to reload page if inspector did not read page load 
history correctly

#What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Error console should show no errors. However it shows:

"[The HTML that caused this error was generated by a script.] Unmatched </link> 
encountered.  
Ignoring tag."
1 error

I guess that is caused by ajax api loading script dynamic injection at some 
point, however that's 
hard to debug it myself because code is minified

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Current ajax script loader and ajax feed api:
Tested with WebKit nightly build and public Safari 3.1 on OSX Leopard:
user-agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_2; en-us) AppleWebKit/525.18 
(KHTML, like 
Gecko) Version/3.1.1 Safari/525.18

#Please provide any additional information below.
This error is trapped by browser and script engine continues. However script 
injection should be 
clean

regards,
Peter

I fixed the problem by setting nocss to true

How do we set nocss to true and where???

@er.sudhir.yadav For example, google.load('search','1',{nocss:1});

This error still happens both in Safari and Chrome when loading the Google AJAX 
Search 
API. To reproduce, run the "Hello World" example at 
http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/documentation.

Error still happens. Can be seen in Code Playground samples, e.g.:

It happens in Chrome 4.1.249.1045 (42898) in Win7 but the fix for no css works 
: 
google.load('search','1',{nocss:1});

Thx for the tips!

'nocss' doesn't work for me..

Original comment by kanasimi on 20 Jun 2010 at 5:22

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

The issue is caused by 
"write('<link href="'+b+'" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"></link>')}" in 
jsapi and the error is dependent on the doctype of the page calling it which is 
why some people are not affected.

I suspect that if someone at Google changes it to write('<link href="'+b+'" 
type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />')} 

it should resolve all our issues without disabling css option.

I agree with brinley. Google, is anyone looking into this? It's the only 
validation error I'm getting for the XHTML of my website.

I amended the load line of my JavaScript to turn off the Google's default CSS, 
and now the pages validate. Thanks, webmestre@spektrummedia.com and jrgeerdes 
for the suggestion.

Seems this was reintroduced.

Changed state: Accepted

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I also see this issue when using google.load for the 'feed' api. Disabling the 
google default css prevents this error for me as well.

Man, been searching this all along. I thought it was somewhere in my code. 
Thanks for nocss tips.

I tried the {nocss:1} thing. But it did not work for me. I am using AJAX 
Slideshow control.

Original comment by ameer1234567890 on 14 Sep 2010 at 12:56

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

{nocss:1} causes auto-complete to not render correctly.

Any other suggested workarounds? Does Comment 19 work for all doctypes?

Please fix this Google.

It isn't valid. However, it would not break functionality as is the current 
case. Refer
