I've got a problem. One of the datagrids a website which I am developing, doesn't show any rows >ever< when viewed under the new Google Chrome browser that was released earlier today.
Has anyone else noticed any inconsistences with the Infragistics controls and Google Chrome?
I've published two screenshots on my review of Google Chrome here: http://blog.evolvedsoftwarestudios.com/2008/09/02/web-browser-wars-room-for-one-more-google-launch-google-chrome/ (scroll right down to the last two images in the article).
Hello,
I have just gone through your blog post - great content there. I also was probably one of the first to download and try Google Chrome and I am really impressed by the speed and simplicity of the browser, plus several great ideas they have to save space (pressing Ctrl +K for search goes back to address bar with ? prefix - clever stuff).
Google Chrome's engine is based on WebKit - this is the open source engine that powers the Safari browser. So while we of course cannot make any official statements for Chrome at this very moment, you will typically expect the controls we ship that work on Safari to generally work in Chrome. UltraWebGrid has parts of it that are not working on Safari yet, hence the problem you experience.
Needless to say, Safari and Google Chrome support will be moving up the priority list and we will do our best to be better in this area. In fact, almost 100% of the stuff we will be going to ship soon already works fine in both Chrome and Safari - you can test this with the CTP versions of WebDataTree and WebDataGrid and our brand new Drag & Drop framework here (a lot of this stuff and much more will ship in the next releases we have)

So basically - yes, we are watching Chrome (and WebKit / Safari in general) closely and will be doing our best to support that, the way we support FireFox/Mozilla and IE.

Any idea about the 9.1 release? I tried looking around the site, but it does not appear that there is any offical published timeframe. I would assume that because of that you will not be able to provide a date, but can you give an indication? Is the estimate on the timeframe for the end of Feb? March?
Thanks
Chad
Hi Chad,
Our next release for ASP.NET is planned to ship in early April.

I have upgraded to 2009.1 for ASP.NET. I also just downloaded and installed the newest Google Chrome beta (1.0.154.53)
I hoped, but it didn't happen. My IG-controlled pages with the UltraWebGrid still do not work in Chrome.
Any word on Chrome/Safari progress?

Did you happen to try Opera as well?
Any update???

I had not tried Opera, but I just did. The grid works in Opera. However, the WebAppStylist does not. My grid-- which is so pretty in Firefox and IE, with scrolling and pretty colors and easy-to-read fonts-- is just an ugly table in Opera with Times font. <yuck!>
But since Opera has a whopping 0.7% market share, and (unless something big happens) doesn't show any sign of gaining any, I'm not to worried about it.
However, Chrome is up to 1.23% in its short lifespan, and shows all the signs of one day catching and/or overtaking Firefox. Wisdom would indicate Chrome support is going to be a big deal.

Thanks for checking it out. Yeah Opera does not have a large market share, unless if you have some silly clients that would like to use it ... but they can get over it.
Thanks for the response... yes there are several reasons why the Aikido version is inferior to the original version. Here is a snapshot of the reasons:
See my previous post in this thread from Nov. 25, 2008 for more.... So unfortunately the Aikido version is lacking as well - oh and the fact that there would be a rework on 100% of the code ... that is not a workable solution.
