HTML5 <datalist> Not working in packaged app - html

Using this example http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_datalist.asp
- I have no problem in browser, but it doesn't seem to work in packaged apps.
I am on Chrome v26. Version 26.0.1410.64 m. on Windows.

Not sure what "doesn't seem to work" means, but this bug suggests there are issues with datalist for extensions as well in Chrome. I've added a link to your question there so that when it's fixed, we can update this question.

Difference between Google Chrome and Canary

i would like to know that what is the main difference between chrome and canary
as the official site says,
Google Chrome Canary has the newest of the new Chrome features.
Be forewarned: it's designed for developers and early adopters,
and can sometimes break down completely.
So what is the good practice:-
1.Can we trust Canary for development purpose.
2.Do we need to test our app on both Canary and Chrome.
3.When we should go for Canary and When we should go for Chrome .
Yes, but make sure that you test the sites with Chrome first when you face a bug. I once had a strange behavior where chars were missing in the sites source and hours later I found out that it was a bug in Canary.
I did this for a long time, but I've never stated a problem depending on an update.
If you need new functions which aren't currently present in Chrome - use canary. For all other purposes Chrome is the way to go.

Firefox not doing spellcheck when working in local environment?

Quick one from me - is Firefox's spellcheck functionality (I am running ver 37.0.1) disabled when editing websites and apps locally. Words spelled incorrectly are underlined in Chrome and Safari but not Firefox.
I have added spellcheck="true" to a field but still no luck.
Everything seems to be working correctly on the pages that are already online.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue?
Thank you!
Fixed - Firefox needs a dictionary to be downloaded to spellcheck things.https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/

Dev Tools auto-complete doesn't work on chrome 35, ubuntu 14.04

After update to chrome 35, autocomplete in dev tools doesn't work. Is it only my issue?
Checked windows and mac, all works..
I've got some similar problems, but just on Styles panel on Elements tab. Here, I've opened an issue just to this case:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=376763&thanks=376763&ts=1400852713
I know it's not a solution, but it's the best we can do. We have to wait for someone at google (or that's involved with chromium project) fix it, and then release a new version patching it.
An alternative is using Chromium from ubuntu Software Center for now (it's still at version 34, so the autocomplete works): https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/chromium-browser/
UPDATE
This bug has been fixed on version 36
The issue has been fixed in the beta version.
(works in the current version: 36.0.1985.49 beta)
Can be download from http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/beta.html
edit:
Considering the initial message, I assumed the problem was to pop the autocomplete box in the source files search as i enter in this issue. If the problem ain't relative to this, sorry.
In the last version the auto-completion menu in dev tools doesn't appears automatically anymore, u need to press cmd+P or cmd+O (mac) to open it.
I've got the same problem. It's really annoying.
Besides, on the Elements tab, when you double click the attribute of an arbitrary tag, the attribute is automatically emptied, which, i think, is not really expected.
Hope these issues get solved as quickly as possible.

html title attribute not showing as tooltip in Chrome

Recently updated my Google Chrome to version 32.0.1700.76 m and it looks like tooltips have stopped appearing over html elements with the 'title' attribute set.
<span alt="Testing" title="Testing">hhh</span>
Here is an example jsFiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/ricksuggs/cDhEL/
I thought it was an HTML standard, it is still working in Firefox, anyone else experiencing the issue?
Version 32.0.1700.76 m works fine for me. Have you tried just clearing your Chrome browser cache to make sure it's not a caching issue?
Unfortunately, this is an old bug that have pop with version 32.0.1700 and is still present in v55 on some system such as mine too.
If you encounter this bug. Please go to http://download1.srware.net/old/iron/win/portable to test version 31 then 32. If you find out it works with v31 but it doesn't with v32, please report it in the chromium bug tracker issue. Specify your setup sharing a link provided by DriversCloud.com to help dev to fix it. They need feedback and details.

Why is Dev Tools bar empty?

I'm using Chrome-compatible SRWare Iron 5.0.381 on XP, and was checking out what Chrome has to offer to developers, EG inspecting the contents of the DOM of a currently-loaded web page.
But when I hit CtrlShiftI, the bar is totally empty:
Does someone why this is? Do I need an add-on? Are there other Chrome-compatible tools I should know about?
It appears you’ve found a bug in that fork of Chromium. The inspector works just fine with Google.fr in the latest Google Chrome and Chromium builds. Why don’t you use one of these browsers.
Usually the reason of that is some problem in DevTools JS code.
It is a chance that problem will be solved by chrome restart.
Such kind of problems can happen when chrome is upgrading at background.
The other reason of that can be some changes which you made in DevTools.js.
Of cause if you have done some changes :)
You can troubleshoot such problem by another instance of DevTools.
As example you can try to load DevTools.html page into Safari, open WebInspector for it and check console messages.
