    Outrageous

    " Impede Browser Functionality.
    On Home / Profile Surfaces, clicking on the <App Title> takes the user to the Canvas Surface. Clicking on the “Back” button of the browser once does not bring the user back to the previous Surface."

    that's what Myspace admins tell about my app. (It happens only on IE 6 or less... on FF works fine)

     OK !!! That's outrageous ! I don't tell the browser to do such a thing!!!! You can inspect my source. Give me some advices please !!!!

    I want a open dispute on that problem because I THINK YOU HAVE SOMETHING WITH MY APP because even mobsters (the nr 1 app on My Space ) has the same problem.

    My app id is appId=127564

    if you app is flash, read this.   In your flash embed tag, add  wmode="opaque" at the end.  That should do the trick.     If that doesn't make sense, open the fla in flash and select publish settings.  Click the HTML tab.  Then in the Window Mode selector, select "Opaque Windowless".  Then publish.   The new code generate will work.

    Friend,

    This should help you out.

    Replace any occurence of direct href pointers (in your canvas) like below:
    frames.xcontent.location.href=gourl;
    to replace function as follows:
     frames.xcontent.location.replace(url) ;

    This should make it work right.

    Goodluck, but you could be in for more surprises before you can ever get your app accepted on myspace here.They got some really picky reviewers.

    If you think you got over this technical hurdle and you are all fine, that is not so.. you learn one new thing each day from a different reviewer. Be ready to go back 10 times to get an app accepted until they get tired and you get a more lenient reviewer.

    Goodluck!

    Thanks for the advice Video.  You've oppened my mind ! I was using location.href="#topAnchor";.

    I've replaced with location.replace("#topAnchor"); but the same problem on IE.

    The solution is

    if (browser=="Microsoft Internet Explorer" && (version>=4)){

    //nothing
            }else{
                location.replace("#topAnchor");
            }

     I hope that was the last problem...

    Thanks again !

    The admin says :

    " 1. Impede Browser Functionality.
    On Home / Profile Surfaces, clicking on the <AppTitle> takes the user to the Canvas Surface. Clicking on the “Back” button of the browser once does not bring the user back to the previous Surface (in IE 7)."

     

    Somebody makes jokes with me because IT WORKS :).

    1. Impede Browser Functionality.
    (a) On Home / Profile Surfaces, clicking on any link (including the AppTitle) takes the user to the Canvas Surface.
    (b) clicking on the “Back” button of the browser once does not bring the user back to the previous page.

     Thank you!
