document.body is null on, Google Web optimiser redirects.

[Roon]

Hey all,

Head scratching here, We have Google Web Optimiser running some A/B
tests on our site.
Effectively Google drops a cookie that triggers a redirect to another
version of the same page.

We have (seemingly without change) started seeing a JS Error during
the redirection that is coming from jQuery. Specifically jQuery
1.3.2.
If I drop the version from 1.3.2 down to our old 1.2.6 version the
issue goes away.
Here is a firebug console output

document.body is null
   document.body.appendChild( div );\n

thanks in advance

FYI anyone with this same issue..
Not really a JQuery issue. GWO control scripts need to be loaded
before jQuery. it is a race condition.
jQuery is still loading whilst the redirect is in operation.. hence no
body in the DOM.
