I have a very strange issue in my application when its get deployed in HTTPS environment.I have two text boxes which is a silveright user control.I just used this control in an aspx page which has two buttons save and cancel buttons.When i click the save button using mouse after entering the values in the text boxes, the value is not captured.if i simply click the user control before click the save button, the value is captured.if i use the keyboard to press the save button (using tab and press the space bar or enter button), the value is captured.Does the issue related to focus problem in silverlight control ?Can you provide me a solution for this ?
