I\'m trying to write an HTML5 offline application but can\'t seem to get Chrome to accept the cache manifest file.

Today I experienced exactly the same problem. After hours of working I came the the key point: the format of manifest file. In short, the file must begin a new line ONLY with ascii(0A), not ascii(0D), or ascii(0D + 0A). Only in this way can I live with Chrome, or I will get a blank page, and the error info in the console window.

According to w3c, (http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/offline.html), in “5.6.3.2 Writing cache manifests”，both 0A, 0D and 0D + 0A are all acceptable. So, my opinion is: Chrome is not compatible with w3c in the point.

Further more, say, if myapp.js is to be cached, it MUST follow the same rule: begins a new line only with ascii(0A), or Chrome will throw the same info in the console windows.

My Chrome is 13.0.782.107
