Google chrome(0.2.149.30) has got some problem in rendering the checkboxes. Today I thought about buying a new laptop, so I was searching for a laptop that will fit into my budget and requirements. And I came across a website called http://www.compareindia.com/products/laptops/ , I was using Google chrome for browsing, but when viewed that page it was like this
There was no way for me to narrow my search because I couldn’t select any of options listed under "Narrow your Search" section, but after sometime i.e after doing some scrolling and switching tabs checkboxes appeared on the left side of this list
Initially I thought that, it will a problem with the way that page was developed(may be some JavaScript issues), but when I opened the same page in Firefox(3.0.1) it was rendering properly, even in IE 6 is rendered that page correctly.
I think this is a Chrome bug; I have reported this , follow this URL http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=3151 if you have experienced same problem.
My name is Rajeesh, I live in a place called Kerala one of the beautiful state of India with full of greeneries. Currently I am working for RM ESI as Development Lead. I love to share my knowledge and eager to learn new things from others. Apart from these technical things, I play badminton, Cricket and even take photos using my Nikon D60
Try the latest development version of chrome (0.2.153.1). This is fixed there.. You can now download the Chrome Channel Switcher, which allows you to switch between the “beta” Chrome and “Dev” Chrome. The Beta Chrome are the stable releases whereas the Dev Chrome is updated as soon as a bug or security flaw is fixed.

Thanks for the update,
I will check it
Hi Suresh,
You are correct, I switched to “Dev” channel and updated my chrome; now checkboxes are rendered correctly.
Thanks a lot for the information.

Nice post
There must have been a regression, because the problem seems to be back in Chrome 1.0.154.53.
It’s exactly this sort of thing that makes people revert back to Firefox, IE or whatever they were using before. This is my second attempt to switch to Chrome…and it won’t be a third! But as a software developer I recognize that some problems are not fixed overnight, so I will give it a few more weeks.
Hi All,
Please update your Google Chrome to and give try
Because I am not able to reproduce now with version 1.0.154.59, GMail, Wordpress 2.7.1 admin and http://compareindia.in.com/products/laptops/ are showing the check boxes properly.
I am using 1.0.154.65 and I see no radio boxes on that page. ?? What is up with that?
Hi Chris,
if that is the case, it is regression issue.
