[IronPython] IronPython to JavaScript

[Michael Foord]

Ahhh... there is a detail I missed out in that article. You can only 
hook up the Javascript function after the Silverlight control has 
loaded. This is *possibly* the cause of your problems.

I do the hooking up in an onload function:


                  function onload() {
                      control = 
document.getElementById('SilverlightPlugin');
                      control.Content.setCode.Event = setCode;
                  }

You pass this function in the online parameter in the Silverlight object 
element:

                <object id="SilverlightPlugin" 
data="data:application/x-silverlight," 
type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="450" height="540">
                  <param name="source" value="app.xap"/>
                  <param name="onerror" value="onSilverlightError" />
                  <param name="onload" value="onload" />

Hopefully this sorts out the problem for you.
