The main menu of the silverlight.net site does not work properly under Firefox

06-17-2009 11:31 AM |

 The main menu of the site just doesn't work under FireFox 3.0.1 which  has more market share in Europe than IE or Chrome (actually the menu works under Chrome)

 I think this should be  fixed as it questions the professional content of the whole site.

 I have become a Silverlight fun quickly, my complaint considers only this bug.

Hi Zoltan,

Thanks for your report.  Many people use this website every day with Firefox, myself included, and the menu works fine for me.  (It also works in Chrome, but doesn't look the same.)

What in particular are you having trouble with?  Does the menu appear at all?

 What I have noticed, that it does matter how you hit the menu button: http://screencast.com/t/O9Ktxo3x

 in case 1, where you hover the cursor before the text, the next menu option is highlighted and that small pointer below also goes there. By clicking the menu point in this position the the page corresponding the NEXT menu item comes up.

in case 2 when I hover over straight the menu text, the logic works fine. The pointer below is pointing to the menu point and by clicking the menu the proper page comes up.

Please let me know if this is problem is solved, I am curious (actually I deal mainly l with interface porgramming so I've got one idea what is wrong)

I am not seeing the behavior you are describing in case 1.

Here's a recording of what I am seeing, with Firefox 3.0.11: http://www.screencast.com/t/Bd0JdlHBxFc

Are you using the most current version of Firefox?

Another member reported a similar thing: http://silverlight.net/forums/t/99532.aspx. 

Zoltan, are you using SL2 or the SL3 beta?

I've tried both but I was still not able to duplicate it.  I'm starting to wonder if maybe there's a browser add-in that is a contributing factor here.

Hi Mike,

I am using SL 2 plugin. As far as I remember, the site did come up without a silverlight plugin, so without any deeper investigation I guess that an asp.net control was enhanced with a piece of javascript code and there can be a bug.
