Hello,

 Our application profile view works fine on Firefox and Safari, but not on IE. The profile displays correctly, and when you click on the link to go to the canvas it takes you there, but when you hit the back button it somehow re-renders the canvas view again, not taking you back to the profile view. When checking  the browser's back history, there's a URL being called between the profile and the canvas,

api.msappspace.com/apprendering

Our app id is 134917. We use OpenSocial 0.8, and tested on IE 7.

Thank you in advance!

To go to the canvas view, we included

        <Require feature="views" />

on ModulePrefs in our application xml. In the profile section, we call this code:

                var supported_views = gadgets.views.getSupportedViews();
                gadgets.views.requestNavigateTo(supported_views['canvas']);

we also tried

                var canvas = new gadgets.views.View('canvas');
                gadgets.views.requestNavigateTo(canvas);

Both ways work fine on Firefox, but on IE you can't hit back because the canvas view keeps rendering.

 Bump?

Any suggestions?

 I have modified the previous posts so people can have a better idea of what's going on with our app. I know developers are busy with lots of postings, but any help would be very appreciated. This is all that is holding us back from getting our app published.

 Thanks in advance

 OK, I figured out it was not requestNavigateTo which was failing. It's the code that generates the canvas that is acting a bit different on IE. I basically grab the appParams value to call a specific page. Since the html code is not on my app xml but rather on our servers, that seems to be causing the problem.

All in all, there's still an issue with how IE renders, specifically with iframe based apps.

 Sorry I didn't see this thread before now. 

I know we are looking at a couple of IE issues. I need to re-read the thread. Also feel free to message me if I miss a post. :)

 I'm afraid I'm gonna have to insist on this. We tried using rendering the canvas inside an iframe to get rid of that IE bug, but now the invites and messages do not work (postTo calls do not get executed). Clearly I wouldn't have the need to create my own iframe if the app is already rendered as an iframe by MySpace.

The problem with IE re-rendering is something that has to be addressed, or at least not taken in consideration for an application approval. I would be really relieved if someone can take a look at this or give me a hand, I've already spent the whole saturday on this, and I am running out of time for this application.

 Hey Pier, if you add me as a friend on your dev account, and then add me as a developer of the app, I could more easily debug this issue.  Let me know if that works for you.

 Hey Chad, we eventually solved the problem. We pushed the functionality from the XML to server side. We submitted yesterday.

 Thanks for the offering though! I'll still add you as a friend =P
