[Phpmyadmin-devel] document.write() and jQuery conflicts on the demo server

[Ninad Pundalik]

Hi,

Since yesterday, I've been trying to figure out what has been causing
the blank pages on the 'Add New User' and 'Create Table' actions on
the demo server [0] (while it works fine on my system).  I've narrowed
it down to two calls to document.write(), which are a part of the
Google Analytics and Piwik code.  When jQuery inserts content
retrieved over an Ajax call into the DOM, it evaluates the inline
javascript. [1]

One possible, partial solution is to do what John Resig has shown in
this blogpost [2], to write a more compliant document.write()
function.  However, he admits that this is only a partial solution and
is not cross-browser.  I've been trying to hack around, but I've not
been successful in resolving this issue.  Has anyone come across a
better solution?
