Insertion of gpt.js fails when the document doesn't have existing scripts

[venkatkarun]

Not having scripts in the head or body might be weird but is quite prevalent as can be gauged by websites like http://www.csszengarden.com/215/. It will be nice to make jquery.dfp defensive as opposed to failing badly in such a scenario.

TypeError: Cannot read property 'parentNode' of undefined
at dfpLoader (chrome extension://bekccbechiigcepdoebmbganlaehelkj/bower_components/jquery.dfp/jquery.dfp.js:545:17)


 var useSSL = 'https:' === document.location.protocol;
 gads.src = (useSSL ? 'https:' : 'http:') + '//www.googletagservices.com/tag/js/gpt.js';
 var node = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
 node.parentNode.insertBefore(gads, node);

How do you insert the script without having any script-Blocks on the page?

Also, the lib requires jQuery. How are you using it?

The parent script that requires $.dfp is inserted as a chrome extension content script. jquery itself is required from the parent script.

Hey @venkatkarun send me a pull request with something that works for your page and I will make sure it works elsewhere and merge it.
