Rolodex derivation loads in IE but not Firefox

James Thomas posted on Sunday, February 22, 2009

Hi All,

Just seeing if someone else has solved this problem. I have a Silverlight app that's based on Rolodex, but differs in that I moved the host page into WcfHostWeb to make debugging easier. The app now works fine in IE, but the silverlight app doesn't load in firefox (the html of the host page loads ok, but the silverlight app itself doesn't). Has anyone else seen this, or has an idea of what the problem might be?

Thanks, James.

Yes - I found the problem.

In a VS generated page various width and height attributes aren't set. I copied the ones used in rolodex and the page now appears in Firefox 3 too.

These are the lines I changed:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" style="height:100%;">
<body style="height:100%;margin:0;">
<form id="form1" runat="server" style="height:100%;">

Hope this helps someone else who runs into the same problem.
James.
