Question

I detect if a user has chrome frame by placing this in teh body of my page:

<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/chrome-frame/1/CFInstall.min.js"> </script>

<div id="placeholder"></div>

<script>
 CFInstall.check({
    node: "placeholder",
destination: "http://www.waikiki.com"
  });
</script>

In the header of my boilerplate page I have:

 <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="chrome=1">

I managed to get the site to prompt me to install chrome frame, which I did, but the page still renders with IE errors, any ideas why?

Using IE7.

Was it helpful?

Solution

You can tell if the page is using chrome frame by right clicking on the page. If the context menu lists "About Chrome Frame.." it's rendering the page via chrome frame plugin.

Also you need to call CFInstall.check after the body is loaded.
