Error with HighCharts and Chrome

I'm seeing a strange error when viewing any HighCharts in Chrome (version 8.0.552.18 dev).

The error is a black popup in the lower left corner that i think is from jQuery, which says:
"AutoComplete Unavailable
Could not update autocomplete list.
Exception: TypeError: Object # has no method 'split' ".

Now, this error only occurs in Chrome, when viewing a page with a HighChart on it (both your demos and when i implement the page myself. The actualy charts seem to work fine thou). The closest i've gotten (i think atleast) to tracking this issue is here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8338 ... y-conflict

My guess is that it's some kind of strange conflict between the code used in HighCharts, jQuery, and Chrome in some way.. and possibly Prototype. Yeah, it's a bit farfetched perhaps, but it's all i've got. I've tried the different NoConflict ways described on the stackoverflow answers but i can't get them to work properly with HighCharts. I need some assistance..

How to reproduce: Get the latest dev version of Chrome and go to any HighCharts page.

Re: Error with HighCharts and Chrome

I just downloaded Chrome 8.0.559.0, check highcharts demo page (http://highcharts.com/demo21 ) and it works pretty well, without any issues. Highcharts uses jQuery natively (but you can use other framework adapter) so I don't think if there is any conflict. More likely is the conflict between jQuery and Prototype. And the easiest solution is to choose one of them.

Re: Error with HighCharts and Chrome

AAah, thank you so much! Of course i should have tested this with a completely fresh installation of chrome... then i would have realised it would be an extension that was bugging me... more specifically this one: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/de ... aldh?hl=sv

With that one uninstalled everything works fine. Thank you so much for your help in making me realise it was all my own fault :D
