Hi,

I am not sure if SL is running on IE6, it depends on your system.

Please have a look at the compatibility table there:

Do you have IE6 and IE7 side-by-side on one machine?

I'm also using IE6 in my machine and I have Silverlight 2 beta 1 installed. HardRock cafe or other SL2 website are working fine.

Can you show me the code that you wrote for those URLs?

You can also give me the link of your website so that I can test it in my machine that has IE6 installed?

Hello,

I have tested in IE6, Firefox 2.0.0.14 on WinXp. There are two panels in your page, right?  I'm not able to see the search result in IE. I think there are some problems in parsing XML... Be careful when you are reading XML .. sometimes, the format is different in Firefox and IE6.

No. The return format from Amazon web service will be different based on the browser.

I remember that Shawn has that problem long time back. He was trying to read the Feed from his Silverlight 1.1 program. It works in IE but doesn't work in Firefox. The problem was that the XML retrieved by Firefox was prepended with several bytes of extraneous information.

You can read the discussion in this post. http://silverlight.net/forums/p/9323/29315.aspx

In your case, you will need to read the Amazon web service from your program.

I'm not able to search in your program.. Are you able to search?

Re: Re: Re: Running silverlight on IE 6.0

   There can not be the parsing problem becaause in case of IE6, it is not getting into the downloadCompleted event. If there is some parsing problem then it must get into the  downloadCompleted event method.

Thanks

Re: Re: Re: Re: Running silverlight on IE 6.0

there is no parsing problem coz in case of IE6 the Amazon url is not getting into the DownLoadCompleted  Event.Suppose if dere is any parsing problem den  it shuld get into the DownLoadCompleted  Event

You can set the breakpoint when you run on IE6? then, let us know what error you get.. there might be some problems in downloading... The machine that has IE6 also has Firefox? If yes, please test with Firefox on that machine too.
