Issue in running JavaFX application in web browser

Question

Our team currently was developing a desktop application which now needs to be run in a web browser. Deployment is successful, but while running it in IE 8, the background color of the IE outside the stage (from the desktop application) is coming in grey color. Our applucation's background color is white, hence, this makes it look odd. The more peculiar thing is when we run the url in IE8, the first page (login page) comes without the grey part, ie the whole window is white colored. But after logout, (the login page should be made visible) only the stage size comes in white and the rest of the window comes in grey background color. Please help in fixing this.

to answer your questions:
how to set the browser size according to stage sizeTo resize area reserved for application in a web page you can access web page from inside of your app and use javascript to get a handle of application in the web page DOM and then set size on it as you need.
See
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/deployment/javafx_javascript.htm#BCEIAGHE
and
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/deployment/javafx_javascript.htm#BCEIBFGD
How to get the handle for browser size here?For embedded application you will get initial Stage in the start() sized to browser allocated area.
And you can you tip i referenced before to resize app if browser will change allocated area (due to user requests).
However, i think your real question is different:
that in the login page the stage size is smaller than the browser size we set while packagingDoes it mean your app pops create login stage first and then populate main stage?
Then good app behavior is like:
if (runningEmbedded) { //see tip 2.3.1 in the same guide
//fill given stage with something - e.g. same background as web page or some image
popLoginPage();
//once user logged populate main stage
populateMainStage();
And create all assets for all stages in the init(). So in start you will only adding panels to the stages and creating new stages.
You may need to erase "dummy" content from the main stage before you populate it.
Hope this helps. If not, please explain what you app is doing in more details. What do you do with stage provided in start, how you create login and other stages.
What you size your application to and what are stage dimensions.
