If your site doesn't look quite right in Google Chrome but works fine in Safari, here are some tips to get your site up with chrome:

  • it's possible your site may just not recognize Chrome's user-agent string. Commonly, sites use JavaScript to 'sniff' the navigator.userAgent property for "Chrome" or "Safari", but you should use proper object detection if possible.
  • Google Chrome doesn't support ActiveX plug-ins, but does support NPAPI plug-ins. This means you can show plug-in content like Flash and Java in Google Chrome the same way you do with Firefox and Safari.
  • If text looks a bit off, make sure you provide the proper content type and character encoding information in the <head> section.
  • Don't put block elements inside inline elements.
