Playing Facebook games on ZuneHD

[vtothet]

Can anyone tell me why non-flash apps/games on Facebook don't function right on the ZuneHD? For example I play Castle Age, and it will load up fine on the ZuneHD and some links will work, but certain action ones like pushing the quest button will cause the text entry box to pop up and wants me to enter text. I tried leaving it blank and putting stuff in and it doesn't do anything, or it will sometimes do something but won't let you know it does unless you back out and go back in. Same applies to Mafia Wars. Is there a trick to it, or just a bug in the browser?

An incomplete execution of web (HTML) standards, no doubt.

Maybe the screen squishes up everything into one spot or something, and trying to click something doesnt work.

Yea, in Mafia Wars, some buttons aren't exactly links... dunno how to describe them, but clicking on them wouldn't work

People complain about there not being an API, but all you really have to do is give an app idea to Dave and you get full access.

No, I don't think his "new" and "audiosurf" comments were related...

This is true. If you have a game in development that I think has promise, I'll happily apply some resources and supply the private extensions.

Cheers, Dave.
