Our application, Books iRead -
http://www.orkut.co.in/Main#Application.aspx?uid=1631701860000379646&appId=224780218581

Stopped working today afternoon IST on Firefox.

It works fine on IE.

Even on firefox, if I open our iframe in a new window, after having
loaded the application. The application works fine.

A very small part of the header loads, and then the loading is
terminated.

Was there any recent change in the platform that could be causing
this?

Is anybody else experiencing something similar ?

The same codebase is used for rendering weread.com & our application
on 4 other social networks (including 2 opensocial networks - myspace
& hi5) and the app is running fine there.



Thanks,
Mekin

Hi All,

Yes I do agree there's something wrong in the way external Css and js files are handled.

For the past 2 days there's an issue in opensocial apps running in orkut. It sometimes fetches external CSS sometimes it doesn't.

you can view it here: http://www.orkut.com/Main#Application.aspx?uid=14348649658010974404&appId=633935603719

all the tabs are treated as normal links.

I had the same issue yesterday morning too but It was fixed in the afternoon. Again today morning facing the same issue.

do let me know how to solve this issue.

Thanks
Dinesh

Hi Mekin. It looks like you're creating an IFrame dynamically but its
height is not getting set correctly. If I add the following line at
the bottom of your onLoadFriends function, I see all the content:

frameObj.height = frameSize.adjustHeight;

Hi Jason,

Mine is a different issue.

Debugging further I found that the error is because of the way orkut started to treat the css files different now. below is th message I get in firebug.

"stylesheet is not loaded because its mime type text/plain is not text/css"

And my application runs well in other opensocial networks. so I guess the problem is with orkut trying to treat css files in a different way so its not getting loaded.

let me know how this can be fixed.

Thanks
Dinesh

Hi Jason,

Now the problem is fixed thanks for working on it.

but it will be great if you could tell me what caused the problem.

and what should I change in the app, to make sure I dont get css cannot load error. Even, If orkut places such restriction.

Thanks
Dinesh
