Seeking Silverlight Samples
Mike Harsh: I’ll walk you through the code for integrating XAML content into a web page.
I’ve tried these pages on both the Silverlight 1.0 beta and the 1.1 alpha. On both IE and Firefox. On two different WinXP SP2 machines, one of which happened to be recently reformatted. No luck on any combination.
Symptoms:
- Firefox 2.0.0.3: “Click here to download plugin.” => “No suitable plugins were found”
- IE 7.0.5730.11: “Click to activate and use the control” => nothing, but right click on the same area now shows “About Microsoft Silverlight”.
Am I missing something obvious? Or do the samples require updating?

Yes they require updating. The type should equal “application/ag-plugin” according to the updated SDK ([link]) plus there are a few other changes. I posted the updated page 1 here:

Can you try out the samples on [link]? Also, do install Silverlight from there (which I think you already have)Posted by Sriram Krishnan at

Bryant: thanks! Oddly, all three examples work on both IE and Firefox.
Dare, Sriram: I was looking for simple, self contained examples that I can learn from and build upon.

One thing I don’t see you including in your examples is the Silverlight.js file... In fact I don’t see you instantiating Silverlight at all through Javascript (for cross browser compatibility).. I’d check out the Silverlight Quickstarts if I were you. This will get you started. Check them out at [link] .
A word of caution do not mix 1.1 and 1.0 samples, they are different, the quickstarts will show you the differences..

I did check out the Quickstarts. I was not impressed.
SVG gets me cross browser compatibility — including both Mozilla and Opera on Linux. I personally run Ubuntu. Safari/webkit support for SVG is in the nightly builts, so it is only a matter of time before it is released.
A runtime conversion of SVG to Silverlight could get me access to the one remaining browser.
