No IE Support? about gmaps HOT 8 CLOSED

They should work. Could you send us what do you see and any errors it outputs?

from gmaps.

Ahh, under closer inspection it looks like a mimetype issue from Github.

On my, and a co-workers Windows 7 IE9, we're getting:

SEC7112: Script from https://raw.github.com/HPNeo/gmaps/master/gmaps.js was blocked due to mime type mismatch
gmaps
SCRIPT5009: 'GMaps' is undefined
gmaps, line 12 character 7

gmaps
SCRIPT5009: 'GMaps' is undefined
gmaps, line 12 character 7

BUT, the damage has been done my friend. I am now being mocked for my Chrome love in the house of IE. ;P

from gmaps.

Hahaha. Sorry to hear that. Seems like Github decided to get a bit of on us. Will still take a look and maybe move the scripts to another server just to be sure.

If I load the script directly, or try to download it.. it works. Strange.

Github does not set the correct content-type header for the link.

The content-type is set to be text/plain instead of text/javascript. And IE will not execute the script due to the mismatch.

Also, serving scripts from code repositories is not a good idea.
You may refer to this post for more details.

Yeah, I had figured this out and everything works fine locally.

On another note, other than these MIME issues why isn't it a good idea to serve scripts from the repositories?
