I really like using Google Chrome as my default browser, but need to be able to use SharePoint and some of the advanced functionality, mainly checking out documents, doesn’t work so well. I found some posts that let me achieve the same functionality as FireFox’s IE Tab plug-in.
First you have to download and install the MeadCo Neptune IE emulator, http://www.meadco.com/neptune/index.htm.
Then create a bookmark in Chrome:
Call it Switch to IE or something and in the URL paste the following JavaScript:
javascript:(function (){var lh=location.href; if( !lh || lh.match(/^(javascript|about):/i) )return; document.write('<html><head><title>'+(document.title?document.title:lh).replace(/</g,'<').replace(/>/g,'>')+' - using Internet Explorer rendering<\/title><\/head><body style=\'margin:0px;padding:0px;\'><script type=\'text/javascript\'>var script = document.createElement(\'script\'); var embed = \'<embed type=\\\'application\/x-meadco-neptune-ax\\\' width=\\\'100\x25\\\' height=\\\'100\x25\\\' param-location=\\\'' + lh + '\\\'><\/embed>\'; script.setAttribute(\'src\',\'data:text/javascript,document.write(embed);\'); document.body.appendChild(script);<\/script><\/body><\/html>'); })();
Now when you open a URL in a new tab, if you need IE functionality, just click the Switch to IE bookmark, and you are running IE in Chrome and you can now checkout SharePoint documents.
