asp.net dropdownlist auto postback failing in chrome

[Justin]

I'm evaluating the use of kendoUI for a new project. i've placed an asp.net dropdownlist on a blank page and wired up the databind and postback event on the aspx.cs code behind. 

    <asp:DropDownList ID="comboBox" runat="server" 
    DataTextField="monthfullname" DataValueField="mthid" CssClass="k-combobox" 
    AutoPostBack="true" onselectedindexchanged="comboBox_SelectedIndexChanged">
    </asp:DropDownList>

and the js on document ready

    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $(".k-combobox").kendoComboBox();
        });
    </script>

i've tried it on IE8 and it works fine, but on chrome the postback is giving me the "Aw, Snap!" page. what could be the issue?

i've disabled all extensions on chrome already but to no effect.

PS: i'm developing on localhost
