I guess JSmol is incompatible with certain uses of String. In particular,
when JSmol is initialized,
"x".toString()
becomes a "String Object", not just a simple string, as it must. There is
no way around that.
jqGrid in one place then uses the strictly equals "===" to compare the
desired row id to the id attribute of a table row:
if( rowid.toString() === this.rows[i].id) {...}
Well, that won't work now, because rowid.toString() is an object, and
this.rows[i].id is a string.
The use of === is unnecessary here. A table row attribute is guaranteed to
be a string, and so is x.toString().
So == is sufficient. It's just a bit of overkill on the part of the jqGrid
developers.
I'm not sure why it is specific to Chrome.
