Question

My Facebook application's Javascript doesn't work in Google Chrome

Answer 1

+2 A:

According to the Chrome developers (Issue 1717), this is an issue with the Facebook FBJS library, and something they plan to escalate to Facebook.

I don't have a workaround for this in the meantime.

Hilarious: A javascript bug in Chrome is the web site's fault? Hahaha. Why does chrome say it is safari? Surely *that* is the real bug.

How do you know it's a Javascript bug in Chrome? Just because it works across a lot of browsers doesn't mean it's not a bug in the sites code.

@rq, I can see this is a tricky area. My reading is Chrome is very much like Safari in most regards (because they both use WebKit to render the HTML), so saying it is Safari-equivalent probably saves a lot of incompatibilities, but it is different in at least one respect, so maybe you are right.

Answer 2

A:

Facebook itself has problems in Chrome. On some pages the buttons just don't work (like deleting a news entry on your own page).

Agreed, but Facebook manages to limp along in Chrome anyway. I don't want my application to make it worse.
