See http://www.kryptolus.com/mozilla/133176.html
Javascript is loaded as expected ...

Can you provide us with a test case that fails to work as expected?

Ghlenn,

This is most likely a dupe of bug 132673.
All of the examples use document.write to add data to the document.
The first one uses document.write to add <script> tags to the document.

If this still occurs after bug 132673 is fixed, please reopen this bug.

FYI, the errors in the javascript console are unrelated.
