We were using a downloaded version of the playerframework.min.js script. We pulled the version from the examples page and it resolved this issue.

Well we ended up re-creating it even with the downloaded script. After stepping through the JS I believe that something is causing the page to repost (maybe the silverlight player?) whenever the play button is pressed.

The issue seems to be that the player controls are rendered as elements and nothing is preventing their default behavior of form submission when inside a form.

We fixed the issue by adding the line:

"type": "button",

to every instance where a "button" element is created by the javascript. Not sure if this will destroy anything important, but we can play and pause without submiting a form and posting back.

Nice find! Your proposed fix is the correct one. The W3C says the button type should always be defined, so it is defaulting to a submit button. Our next release (out today) includes this fix.
