as a minute detail, the data type is still "data:application/x-silverlight-2,". It's only used to differentiate between Silverlight 1 (unmanaged Silverlight) vs. later versions (managed Silverlight).

Hi Everyone

finally i got the solution

its very simple , i missed the comma in the object code,

<div id="silverlightControlHost">


        <object data="data:application/x-silverlight-3," type="application/x-silverlight-2" height="670" width="100%">
          <param name="source" value=" ClientBin/TCOCalculator.xap"/>
          <param name="onError" value="onSilverlightError" />
          <param name="background" value="white" />
          <param name="minRuntimeVersion" value="3.0.40624.0" />
          <param name="autoUpgrade" value="true" />
          <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=149156&v=3.0.40624.0" style="text-decoration:none">
           <img src="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=108181" alt="Get Microsoft Silverlight" style="border-style:none"/>
          </a>
        </object>

        <iframe id="_sl_historyFrame" style="visibility:hidden;height:0px;width:0px;border:0px"></iframe>
        </div>

Now its working

But that's nothing you want to tell your customers to do. I had some troubles myself, and I got it working. So I guess others can do as well

I use IE Tab when I see the Silverlight error. Works like a charm (keeps me in FF but uses IE engine to show the page). http://ietab.mozdev.org/

Can you post your aspx page? And if an external css file is used please post that one as well

I've struggled with the same problem for the last days, and finally found out that Firefox sometimes won't run Silverlight when it is hosted in an .aspx file.

If I put the Silverlight app in a regular .html file it works fine...

[EDIT]
If you can put the Silverlight code "<object..." outside the form-tag, it should work fine in .aspx file as well.

hi Djanjicek

Even i removed the css file from application, then also my silverlight application is not opening in Mozila firefox, Even in cloud application i have silverlight control, that cloud application with silverlight is also not opening in mozila.

see this link

http://silverlight.net/forums/t/119181.aspx . which i already put this issue. can one tell me reason?

in this post someone told that setting the height to 600px is bad habit, set to 100% is good, (ya i know that because of screen resolution )

but in my post i have mention it , that silverlight app is displaying 1/3 of page in IE8 because of 100% but when i set to 600 its working fine, can any one tell me the reason

Thanks in advance.

One good reason to use IE on development server.

Thanks Dražen. The forum posts are of course mostly about people having problems, asking for help in solving them. Unfortunately, I'm having a hard time finding positive feedback. Your quick reply is appreciated!

I had some trouble too with Firefox until today... It was a stupid css fault, giving a ID element a class declaration ( . instead of # ). And now my SL3 app works just fine with the latest versions of IE7/IE8, Firefox, Safari, Chrome.

Re: Re: Silverlight is not working on Firefox

I'm running Firefox 3.5.2 (Silverlight 2.0.40115.0), IE8 (Silverlight 2.0.40115.0), and Safari 4.0.2 (Silverlight 2.0.40115.0) on XP Pro SP3. My Silverlight 2 application running in the Silverlight 2 runtime works great in all 3 browsers.

Reading all these posts makes me not want to upgrade to Silverlight 3. Anybody else running a Silverlight 3 application in all the latest browsers with no problems?
