This is blocking Chromium see http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=2210 For some reason this object which has no visible representation is given a default height and width. This results in the rest of the content of the page being substantially lower than expected on the page. Unfortunately, a popular documentation tool generates these pages. Using CSS to explicitly set a width and height resolves the problem. URLs (if applicable) : http://www.winserver.com/aupinfo Other browsers tested: Safari 3: Not Tested Firefox 3: Not Tested IE 7: Not Tested IE 6: OK Firefox 1.5: OK Opera 9.27: OK K-meleon 1.2: OK o What steps will reproduce the problem? Create a simple web page and add <object> tag to after the <BODY> tag and before some viewable display you EXPECT to be at the top of the page. Example: <html> <head> <style>body {margin: 5px; border: 2px solid black;}</style> </head> <body> <object></object> <H2>Welcome to whatever...............</H2> </body> </html> Open the page with Chrome. o What is the expected result? The <H2> tag is rendered at the top of the page. o What happens instead? It appears CHROME is given <OBJECT> some (random?) width and height and is rendering the <H2> at some location other than the top. The workaround was to get the object a default style height and width. OBJECT { width: 0px; height: 0px; } Attached is the screen shot for the above example. NOTE: THIS IS IMPORTANT. Many people use HTMLHELP to create Windows CHM Help files for their products and they may also copy the *.HTM source file to their WEB SITE for online viewing. Just like we do at the http://www.winserver.com/aupinfo url. I suggest only Safari and Chrome will have this problem.
Replaced elements without a given width or hight are defined to be 300px x 150px. I believe this is works as expected.
