Chrome dose not display the <title> of the page, wonder why?

The <title> is shown when you click the "+" and mouse over.

Personally I like it.

I am not able to find google toolbar for Google Chrome browser. Please advise.

From what I've heard it doesn't run JavaScript (they've invented their own), is this correct, thus making the browser useless?

[1dmf]

I've not tried it.

The missus read it doesn't handle JavaScript, they have written their own client side scripting language, is this correct?

[Randy]

The missus is sort of right in what she's led you to believe, but not really.

Chrome processes JS just fine from everything I can tell. Or at least it's worked with every site I've visited with it that I know uses JS.

That said, they have built and integrated a new javascript engine into the browser. One that according to the docs I've read contains significant improvement over the js engines other browsers have been using.

In other words, they're not changing javascript, just how the browser handles it.

AFAIK chrome doesn't support the toolbar yet

[rolf]

There's a site I use on a semi regular basis which has 1 particular JS script that doesn't work properly in IE and FF most of the time. I've only tested Chrome on that site once so far, but it handled everything perfectly.

Obviously this is just one experience so time will tell, but I'll post here when I've tested a few more times.

It doesn´t show my List Menu

It shows the arrows only

When you click the arrow the drop down list appears.

Any ideas why?

[Randy]

Does your list use JS Madams? And if so does it perform browser detection and feed different ways of doing things based upon the browser type? If so, it may simply be a case of the script not offering a fallback position if the browser name isn't recognized.

If you test the page in the Windows version of Safari my guess is you'd get the same sort of thing. Since Chrome reports itself as a version of Safari, and it may not be a browser your code is sniffing for.

No Randy

<option selected>Chose</option>
<option value="Apartment">Apartment</option>
<option value="Villa">Villa</option>
</select>

No google toolbar for chrome.

Moving this to the other chrome thread. We don't need more than one.

Randy, are you saying this browser is based on the safari engine?

Is that the same safari engine I had read was going to be pulled from a windoze platform because it is considered the most dangerous and vunerable browser available?

Madams -> is it possible there is an error in some CSS formating, or you haven't given the element a width attribute (just stabbing in the dark here! )

The code posted also has the right chevron missing on the opening select tag ? is this a code error or post error?

[Randy]

Randy, are you saying this browser is based on the safari engine?

Dunno if it's actually based upon Safari or not 1dmf. They did say in the docs that they made use of Apple's WebKit, which is open source. I mention it because a layout issue I saw on a couple of my sites with 'doze Safari shows up exactly the same in Chrome.

Well that and the fact Chrome references Safari, among other things, it how it identifies itself. Here's a quick capture of how Chrome shows up in my log files.

CODE

xx.xx.xx.xx - - [04/Sep/2008:10:45:09 -0400] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 3328 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.2.149.27 Safari/525.13"

If I had to guess I'd say it probably doesn't have much of any other browser in it code wise, since it's so different in how it handles tabs and other stuff. There may be some stuff in there, but from the security perspective I wouldn't be too worried about Chrome. They seem to have put a lot of thought into how to deal with security threats.

[Randy]

Madams: I'd have to see the page to take an educated guess. Feel free to PM if you want a fresh pair of eyes to take a look.

One thing... Are there opening and closing <form> tags around your <select>'s? I know I've seen this one produce wonky results before.

Shades of IE, already security issues with The Chrome-
don't download files with it??
check news

My big hope is that it scares MS into being more standards compliant, but who knows how all that will pan out?

Or how about standards compliant, period. We wait for IE9 (NINE)....
Chrome claims 1%+ of browser share already.
If you read MS docs, they phrase it as IE having "enhancements" for the browsing public.
No, we're not crazy, everyone else is......
