Conflict with Google Maps search bar

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Include datejs library
2. Include a google maps canvas
3. Enable google bar

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Search in google bar should work, but it does nothing. This is the error 
which is printed in the browser console:

format.replace is not a function
[Break on this error] return 
w;};Date.prototype.isDST=function...ase"z":return"";}}):this._toString();};\n

Please provide any additional information below.

The problem is that you are modifying the global Date, adding a 
toString(format) method to it. Then Google guys do the same, and there is 
a conflict.

I am using date.js library Version: 1.0 Alpha-1 Build Date: 13-Nov-2007
I noticed that when I was trying to add Google Translation Javascript 
functionality by adding the below code in the html page, somehow date.js was 
getting called and there was error as seen through Firebug log.

TypeError: format.replace is not a function
[Break On This Error]   

...rn(s.toString().length==1)?"0"+s:s;};return 
format?format.replace(/dd?d?d?|MM?M?...
date.js(line 40)

<script type="text/javascript">
    function googleTranslateElementInit() {
      new google.translate.TranslateElement({pageLanguage: 'en', layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE}, 'google_translate_element');
    }
</script><script type="text/javascript" 
src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit
"></script>

Similar code one can generate by registering some dummy website in the Google 
Translate My Page website http://translate.google.com/translate_tools
