Hi Bruno
Just noticed the following: activity dialog is making a refresh (when the user clicks post) and redirectng the user to the "old orkut" application canvas. The code is not doing anything like this. Seems the canvas is broken - can you check this? Is it happening on production also? thanks On Mar 16, 3:17 am, "Bruno Oliveira (\"btco\")" <bru...@google.com> wrote: > Hello developers, > > Just a word of advice, since this has come up a few times recently and I've > seen a few forum threads about it. > > In your applications, *you may never redirect the browser (for example, by > setting window.top.location -- or by any other method)*.
