Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm getting this too. Chromimum 8.0. I'm on Ubuntu 10.10.

Cool. No easy access to an Ubuntu box right now and it's late...I will check in to this when I get a chance. In the meantime, I would be interested to hear: - Is anyone on Chrome/Ubuntu not having this problem? - For those who are having this problem, any more information would be greatly appreciated. - In my own testing, Chrome on OSX and Windows works fine. Has anyone had this problem on either OSX or Windows runni…

Chrome 10.0.648.114 beta on Ubuntu 9.10, works fine.

i'm genuinely wondering how they managed to break something this simple in Opera.

To a rendering engine, this isn't any simpler or more complex than any other page. The reason we see this bug is probably that something in the page takes a code path that is taken very seldom, and thus has not been discovered before.

I'm not saying it's ok to have this bug, just that it doesn't really make sense to come up with a small testcase and say "How can you break something so simple?".

I reported a bug, by the way.

Agreed. Most pages don't dynamically create framesets in window.onhashchange. Nevertheless, it clearly should work in Opera and they need to fix it.

I typically don't test in Opera but I was curious about this one so I fired it up. Seems like the initial page load doesn't work, but if you change the hash (or the settings, same thing), it actually will render properly after that.

At some point, if I feel like it, I will write an ugly workaround just for Opera based on this principle. So far 1.81% of visitors from HN are using Opera, FWIW.

This is a great idea. A simple interface for my TODO's. However I do not think iframing Google Tasks is the best idea, why not just create something similar your own? Since you are iframing it I get this bug: http://i.imgur.com/H7Ytb.png I want three list respectivly "Done", "Today" and "Someday". However as I change one, the others change too. I'm running Chrome 11 dev

I made https://zetabee.com/text (which many HN users currently use) to provide a similar nested-list interface with keyboard shortcuts, copy-paste across lists, and easy read-only sharing. Before that I made http://untodos.com with 'now', 'soon', and 'whenever' lists but ZetaBee Text is a superset of untodos features so I don't use untodos anymore myself.

I haven't made a "done" feature yet because I haven't found a good way to implement it for tasks at arbitrary depths. Check out the demo: https://zetabee.com/text/demo (save is disabled for demo).

In chrome I get a redirect-loop warning... (being logged in in gmail at the same time)

Odd, I'm unable to reproduce. What version/OS? Just out of curiosity, what happens if you try it in incognito mode? Is anyone else experiencing this?

I get this too using Chrome on OS X 10.5. In Incognito mode it shows Google Accounts login pages in each pane.

He uses frames to pull in tasks. That elementary part of HTML that's been in the spec for some time. I was shocked when loading up comments and I saw many people aghast at how he could have access to their tasks, especially when it's obvious to anyone with a basic knowledge of HTML that the site is using frames.

I got this as well in Fedora 14 + Chrome 9.0.597.98
