Working with Plug-ins - HTML5 - page 208

Silverlight files have an .xap extension, which can be seen in the <param> tag with the
name=”source” attribute. In this example, the alternative content includes a linked image
that allows users who do not have the Silverlight plug-in to get it.

Silverlight has a robust set of parameters that can be used to customize the viewer's user experience.
Here's an overview of some of the most frequently used parameters:

➤ ➤

: Controls whether the Silverlight application can open in a separate
window. Accepted values are true and false .

allowHtmlPopupWindow

➤ ➤

: Determines whether the automatic zoom features available in Internet
Explorer 8 and above can be used. Accepted values are true and false .

enableAutoZoom

➤ ➤

: Defines a path to the file initially displayed by a Silverlight plug-in.

splashScreenSource

➤ ➤

: Sets the rendering mode for Silverlight playback. When set to false (the
default option), the Silverlight application is displayed in a window; when true , the applica-
tion plays without the window border.
