title: Google Charts API and jQuery
body: <p>I'm beginning to use the Google Charts API and am seeing some curious aspects about its behavior.  I first noticed that my sample chart wouldn't load when I placed the google chart code inside of the document.ready of jQuery. So then I played around and did the following: </p>
  
  <pre><code>  google.load('visualization', '1.0', { 'packages': ['corechart'] });
  
          //jquery part
              $(document).ready(function () {
                  google.setOnLoadCallback(drawStuff);
                  function drawStuff() {
                      var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
                      data.addColumn('string', 'Topping');
                      data.addColumn('number', 'Slices');
                      data.addRows([
                      ['Mushrooms', 3],
                      ['Onion', 1],
                      ['Olives', 1],
                      ['Zucchini', 3],
                      ['Pepperoni', 2]
                  ]);
                      //set the chart options
                      var options = {
                          title: 'Pizza Consumed',
                          width: 400,
                          height: 500
                      };
                      //instantiate and draw our chart, passing in the options
                      var chart = new google.visualization.ColumnChart(document.querySelector('#chart'));
                      chart.draw(data, options);
                      $('#chart').fadeIn();
                  };
              });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works as I hoped it would but when I open up developer tools I see that the GET request for google.com/jsapi apparently failed (indicated by the red X in Chrome dev tools).  The chart certainly comes up on the page and works as I would expect it would, however.  Why does this current iteration work whereas placing everything inside of the document.ready does not?  If I wanted to use Google charts on a project along with jQuery would this be a viable method of doing so?</p>
