- The inter-line spacing on table heading texts was way too large:
<th valign='bottom'>Line 1<br />Line 2</th>produced a blank line between the two text lines. I did not investigate what the root cause might be as all the other major browsers render it almost identically, so I don't really care what upset Chrome. - The top line of our corporate Wiki (the Login text) is misplaced.
- The View source window does not display processing instructions in XML documents.
- And the worst offender: Blogger in draft works way better, faster and more reliable in Firefox or Internet Explorer than in Chrome.
Chrome: first impressions
I've just downloaded Chrome (the new browser from Google), tested it on my applications and got immediately impressed - they all worked, even the client-side XSLT transformation driven by the xsl-stylesheet directive.
Then I did a few more random tests and my enthusiasm was drastically reduced:

can u tell me how you used client side xslt so that it works in chrome? I used w3school's code (http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/xsl_client.asp), however this does not seem to workin chrome.
The server is sending XML data with the xml-stylesheet processing instruction (PI). The XSL transformation is triggered automatically with the PI.
I haven't tried the JavaScript-driven XSL transformation yet. Thanks for pointing this out, obviously I need to perform that test as well.
Is it possible to append the HTML created using xml-stylesheet PI to existing html at any perticular location?
@Anonymous: while not impossible (I'm using this approach in some applications), it's impractical and error-prone.
I'll write a post describing how it works in a few days, but this is not something I would recommend using.
Thanks for reply Ivan.
Will wait for your post on how it works.
Here's what I've used: http://ajaxandxml.blogspot.com/2008/10/poor-mans-ajax-browser-side-xslt.html
If anybody wants to use JavaScript and AJAX to run XSL translations from Chrome or Safari, there is actually a fairly simple way to do this:
call the PHP XSL conversion routines from JavaScript. Here's a PHP source example: http://ajamyajax.com/phpxsl.html
Hope it helps.
