windows-8.1

I'm hoping to use Firebase in my Windows 8 app made using WinJS. Here is how I am trying to write to the root of my Firebase: var dataRef = new Firebase("https://<firbaseName>.firebaseio.com"); dataRef.set("I am now writing data into Firebase!"); However, this gives me the following error in the JavaScript console: Can’t load <https://<firebaseName>.firebaseio.com/.lp?start=t&ser=66595697&cb=2&v=5>. An app can’t load remote web content in the local context. I've tried to add https://[firebaseName].firebaseio.com/* to my Content URIs in my app manifest but that doesn't seem to be the solution.

I am searching a solution to pin an installed app or desktop application to the windows 8 startscreen. I have figured out to do this like it is described in this post before There has also been a long disscusion about this problem But there was no answer to my question: How can I pin a new tile to a selected position on the startscreen? If I install a new app/application windows 8 pins the new application at the end of the Startscreen. (windows 8.1 does not) But if I want to place the tile f.e. in the second group on third position , there is possibilty to do this. I am in an enterprise

I'm building a universal app and my Win8.1 app has to show a grid of items. Normally the grid consists of 3 columns, but on smaller screens I want the items to wrap so that there are only 2 columns (or even 1). This is my code: <GridView ItemsSource="{Binding Regions}" IsItemClickEnabled="True"> <GridView.ItemsPanel> <ItemsPanelTemplate> <ItemsWrapGrid Orientation="Horizontal" MaximumRowsOrColumns="3" MinWidth="400" /> </ItemsPanelTemplate> </GridView.ItemsPanel> <GridView.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="10"> <Image Source="{Binding Code, Converter=

In App.xaml I have added Application Resources with a button as: <Application.Resources> <Button x:Key="MyButton"/> </Application.Resources> In MainPage.xaml.cs , I tried to add this button programatically in my grid. Button btn = (Button)Application.Current.Resources["MyButton"]; myGrid.Children.Add(btn); But it gives error like this: No installed components were detected. Element is already the child of another element. In MainPage.xaml: <Grid x:Name="myGrid" Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}"> </Grid> I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks. You cannot add

Windows 8.1/8 has a split screen feature which is nice while using multiple apps (like modern UI version IE11) in one screen. Most of the time when you set the IE split screen very narrow, you'll notice the web page zoomed out automatically, but some pages (like microsoft.com) are different. They doesn't zoom out and recognise the narrow width correctly, so it's easy to do some responsive deign. My question is: What code made that difference? I've tried <meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width, user-scalable=0, initial-scale=1.0' /> but IE11 still zooms out the page. I got the answer

I'm trying to port an existing web app to Windows Phone 8.1 (and later, to Windows 8.1). This is not static content, this is a dynamic page with loads of client-side functionality. My default.html file has <iframe src="https://remote.example.com/app.html"></iframe> . The content in the iframe works in the emulator, and resources that are directly referenced in that initial HTML seems to work. However, my web app but triggers several errors like this: SEC7117: Network request to https://cdn.remote.example.com/extra.js did not succeed. Your application manifest does not declare the following
