Evan,

A Safari tester for us reported the following:

                         -------
Hector

1. Both Chrome and Safari render the page in the same way.  Large
blank
area at the top.

2. Safari reports that

    Safari cannot find the Internet Plug-in
    The Page 'AUP Index' has content of MIME type "application/
    x-oleobject"  Because you don't have a plug-in installed for
    this MIME type, this content can't be displayed.

3. Chrome does not report the missing MIME type.
                      -------------------

Sounds like a basic WebKit issue plus something else Chrome has left
out in reporting.

We always wondered what would be the effect in browsers when we copied
HTML help source files to a web site with these special Windows HTML
help <object> blocks used by its Help compiler to generate an index
for the resultant user-side only CHM file.

IE shows a like "box" sorta like an missing image, but not a large
blank area.

Maybe Chrome should consider a similar display.
