Silverlight Control not rendering in div tag using firefox

06-27-2009 6:33 AM |

Hi,

I created a Silverlight app and rendered it in the div tag. Now i need to hide the div tag on a Hide button click and show it on a show button click. This works fine in internet explorer but in firefox while showing the div tag, the silverlight control is not rendering( A white screen appears). I know this problem is already reported in many sites...but none of the solution works for me...my aspx page is here...

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="System.Web.Silverlight" Namespace="System.Web.UI.SilverlightControls"
    TagPrefix="asp" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" style="height:100%;">
<head runat="server">
    <title>SampleSilverlightApplication</title>
   <script type="text/javascript">

        function Hide() {

           document.getElementById("divv").style.display= 'none';
        }
        function Show() {

        document.getElementById("divv").style.display = "block";

        }
            </script>
</head>
<body style="height:100%;margin:0;">
    <form id="form1" runat="server" style="height:100%;">
        <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
        <div id="divv" style="height:300px;" >
            <asp:Silverlight ID="Xaml1" runat="server"
                Source="~/ClientBin/SampleSilverlightApplication.xap"
                MinimumVersion="2.0.31005.0" Width="39%" Height="100%" />
        </div>
    </form>
    <p>
        <input id="Button1" type="button" value="Hide" onclick="Hide()" />
        <input id="Button2" type="button" onclick="Show()" value="Show" /></p>
</body>
</html>

I'm tired of searching the solution for this problem...Kindly help....

You need to give the silverlight control a definate height not a % for it to work in firefox

<asp:Silverlight ID="Xaml1" runat="server"
Source="~/ClientBin/SampleSilverlightApplication.xap"
MinimumVersion="2.0.31005.0" Width="39%" Height="300" />

Sorry I missed you are using a % for the width also. You need to set the width in pixels also

Hi Karthikn87,

This is a known issue now. Currently, the workaround is to set its height to '0px' when we want to hide it. For example,

<form id="form1" runat="server" style="height:100%;">
        <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
        <input type="button" value="show" onclick="show()"/>
        <input type="button" value="hide" onclick="hide()"/>
        <div  style="height:100%;" id="divContainer">
            <asp:Silverlight ID="Silverlight1" runat="server" Source="~/ClientBin/JavascriptTest.xap" MinimumVersion="3.0.40307.0" Width="100%" Height="100%" />
        
        </div>
        <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
            function hide() {
                $get("divContainer").style.height = '0px';
            }
            function show() {
                $get("divContainer").style.height = '100%';
             }
    
        </script>
    </form>
