I'm having trouble getting my silverlight object to render on my page under the following conditions.
My page has a base href set to the root of my site i.e. "http://localhost/".
My page is in a folder like "http://localhost/samples/"
My silverlight object lives in a folder off the root of my site "http://localhost/files/test.xap"
The source URL to my silverlight file is relative to the base url i.e. "files/test.xap"
The silverlight object seems make the source url relative to the url in the address bar rather than the base url set using the <base> tag.
Is there something I can do to get my silverlight objects to render using the relative url to the base href?
Here is some sample html of what works and what does not.
