javascript asynchronous adsense

Solution 1

Use this code instead on any of them... I'm currently using this...Try it

<script async='async' src='http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js'></script>

Solution 2

You're writing an XHTML document (either because of the Content-Type or an XML declaration).

Therefore, the entire document must be valid XML.

Unlike regular HTML, all XML attributes must have values.

Solution 3

I have a solution for the same problem with Hubspot Tracking Code with Blogger.

When adding the following code to the theme HTML in Blogspot, I get an error.

Error parsing XML, line 2490, column 62: Attribute name "async" associated with an element type "script" must be followed by the ' = ' character.

<!-- Start of HubSpot Embed Code -->
<script type="text/javascript" id="hs-script-loader" async defer src="//js.hs-scripts.com/xxxxxx.js"></script>
<!-- End of HubSpot Embed Code -->

I fixed it be using the above fix changing async defer to async="async defer"

<!-- Start of HubSpot Embed Code 17/03/2017-->
<script type="text/javascript" id="hs-script-loader" async="async defer" src="//js.hs-scripts.com/2336222.js"></script>
<!-- End of HubSpot Embed Code -->

I'm a blogger and I monetize my blog with adsense. While coding or in fact adding asynchronous code inside <head></head>tag of my blog it appears that I have to add it like this:
```
 <script async="async" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
```
instead of like this:
```
<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
```
Otherwise it will show me an error. Can anyone explain why? Do you know if I'm allowed to add this (according to adsense)?

Does it have any implications on the google adsense TOS?

Is async a valid attribute on a script tag in xhtml? ref: w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-script-1.mod

Note that the async attribute and the defer attribute are separate attributes in HTML. You should change it to async="async" defer="defer".
