In the meantime, I have developed an alternative method to load third party scripts making use of document.write dynamically, by replacing the document.write function while keeping a high level of compatibility with the expected browser behavior. The code is open source and I have published a demo, loading three Google ads and the Amazon Recommendations Widgets dynamically: http://bezen.org/javascript/demo/dynamic-script-loading-with-bezen-load.html I surely wish advertisers such as Google Adsense stopped using document.write altogether…

I have a site which has seemed to block at random times while loading a particular script. It's just been a nuisance and since it was intermittent I've more or less put it down to the idiosyncrasies of websites in general. Now I realize it's all down to Firefox. I've switched a lot between Chrome, Safari and Firefox while testing it, and I just haven't connected the dots -- but now it's obvious that it's been blocking every time I've tested with Firefox, but not when I've tested with the other browsers.

Opera still doesn't speculatively load scripts by default. You must have tested with Opera’s Delayed Script Execution turned on.

Does Firefox 3.5.7 block on document.write Is this a step backwards?
Does Firefox 3.5.7 block on document.write
