Silverlight vs overflow = "hidden"

Question

I have a silverlight control on a page where I need to change the style of the body to overflow = "hidden", and then revert the style to overflow="auto"

Whenever the overflow style property changes, the silverlight control restarts, losing all data, and operations in progress!!!!

Happens in firefox NOT safari. Have not tried IE yet.

Answer 1

I've heard of situations in Firefox (in fact, I've hit them) where the Silverlight plugin is effectively restarted by Firefox. My understanding is that there's very little that can be done to work around the situation.

Could you consider a different design? Maybe we can help you find a workaround that helps you maintain what you're going through, without the plugin issue.
