Vista Gadget's

[nathan]

You know the windows sidebar, well each object on there is called a gadget. I was pretty surprised when i found out that they are simply html and javascript.

clicky here for microsofts gadget development site. There is a guide on there how to create a simple gadget.

Soooooo, knock yourself out! and dont forget to post your work up here!

You need to look at the BBC Radio gadget, brilliant!

Anyone good at coding could get an OC3D one knocked up?

what would it do? I was thinking about showing stats of the forums or something?

Not sure how hard it would be to parse html with javascript, or xms may be able to output the details onto its own page.

the included Rss gadget can already do that i think.

EDIT: IE7 doesnt see the RSS feed for the main site (not the forum) as supported, so wont be able to do that. But the forums are supported.

Both of the RSS feeds should work, they seem to for me in IE7

Sorry to go a bit of topic.

But arn't "Gadgets" a copy of MAC's "Widgits"?

Anywho, The OC3D Gadget sounds pretty darn awesome!

You could have a mini version of the user control panel made?

Internet Explorer cannot display this feed

Internet Explorer does not support feeds with DTDs.

Go back to the previous page.

More information

This feed contains a DTD (Document Type Definition). DTDs are used to define a structure of a webpage. Internet Explorer does not support DTDs in feeds.
