Hello Samuel;
I realized after sending out the first email that the title should have
been "Issue reading localHOST", but fortunately most people who replied
had a rough idea of what I was describing, and gave me excellent tips.
We use the documented XULRunner <browser> tag to get data from the the
localhost. It works fine as long as the computer is not disconnected
from a network. However, in order to emulate a scenario where a child
does not have Internet connectiviy, once we disconnect the computer from
the network, if the application is running, it starts behaving odd. If
it was not started up, it does not come up on trying to start it.
Calling the same application from XULRunner version 8.0 does not have
these same issues.
We will be following Chris' suggestion for now to bundle the second
version. Based on the information provided, the next version of the
application will have to be re-written using WebKit.

I'm not very familiar with xulrunner, but are you running a local
webserver in your application?
If your application does not have its own webserver, I would expect
you would have to use the file:// URI handler, like the Browse
activity does. You may have to dynamically create this URI after
determining the path the content is stored in, as there is no
guarantee besides on XOs of all content being somewhere below
/home/olpc.

I am aware that the OLPC project is moving into Webkit for future
projects. However, it is necessary to complete a current project on
XULRunner.
With the OLPC laptop disconnected from the Internet, I try to
startup XULRunner and read local files using the browser tag like
this:
With XULRunner 1.9, the screen remains blank, and the file is not
loaded.
I installed XULRunner 8.0 on the OLPC laptop. I am not able to
replicate the problem with XULRunner version 8.0(that is, the
application starts correctly and reads the local files as
expected.)
Given that XULRunner 8.0 may not be installed on the OLPC, are
there any suggestions that I could use to get XULRunner 1.9 to read
local files?
