I am having a strange problem in Google Chrome. I am including a js file via script src tag. I place alert('test') in the file and when I load the page in Chrome, It alerts twice. In every other browser it alerts once. Is there any known cause for this?
Here is the code that loads the JS:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/main.js"></script>
It appears this happens in Safari as well. Does not occur in IE and firefox.

Add
debugger;to the beginning of your javascript code and then step-through setting break points in the Dev Tool. – Colin Commented Jun 14, 2011 at 0:23 - Ok I did that and it seems to go over the same code twice as I keep clicking "step into next function call". It read from line 0 to the last line then goes back to 0 after the last line. After the second time going down the script it stops. – John Commented Jun 14, 2011 at 0:26
- 1 can you post the code from main.js? – Jeff Commented Jun 14, 2011 at 0:33

Reset to default 12I had this recently and eventually found out it was a chrome extension, specifically the cache killer extension

Webkit browsers (Chrome, Safari) are loading pages redirected from .htaccess twice!
I've noticed this same problem in Chrome. I have some code that runs when the page loads and I have an alert inside that code. In every browser other than Chrome this code is run once, thus the alert displays once. In chrome the alert shows twice. I am not doing anything special, just running code when the onload event is triggered within <body onload="somefunction()">. I am not using links, iframes, or the Cache Killer extension. I tested it in Safari and the code is only being called once. This seems to be a Chrome specific problem.
I did some research and it appears this is a bug with Chrome. I found this link https://code.google./p/chromium/issues/detail?id=64810
Depending on your specific situation, this page may give you a work around for the problem.
The problem does not seem to be fixed as of yet.
