I have the google+ button being rendered on my site as follows:
In the JS:
var po = document.createElement(\'script\'); po.type = \'text/javascr
In addition to Jenny's answer you can also use a HTML5-valid +1 tag by setting the class attribute to g-plusone, and prefixing any button attributes with data- such as callback
