Hi Stanton,
Thanks. We appear to have found the issue, details as follows:- I made experiments with the gadget's copy source code to help myself localize the problem and found it is not related to the function which adjusts height (it works correctly). The problem is with localization XML files and function getString() which obtains gadget settings from localization XML files. Localization XML files for this gadget have line breaks after opening tag and before closing tag like this: <msg name="date_format_pref" desc="Label for choosing the date format"> Date format: </msg> There's a place when function getString() takes parameter from XML file with these line breaks included and passes such broken string to another function which throws error and script stops working before triggering auto-adjust function. When I minimized XML file and got rid of these line breaks everything started to work correctly. You can check here (you will probably need to refresh pages): http://beta.blueg.com/test/personal.htm Obviously Google's gadget library and Shindig library have slightly different implementations of getString() function so that the gadget works on iGoogle and doesn't work on other sites without adding the above fix. Is there any workaround you think we can make to the Shindig handling code, rather than having to edit the gadget itself?

Look for "_IG_AdjustIFrameHeight" in the gadget and I believe that is the gadget's attempt to adjust the iframe height using the "dynamic-height" feature. A more modern gadget would require the "dynamic-height" feature and use the "gadgets.window.adjustHeight()" API to adjust its height. Better yet, it would use the "open-views" feature to open the settings in a new dialog, instead of using UI that is contained within the gadget iframe. If you really wanted to get this working there are some hacks you could try, such as defining "_IG_AdjustIFrameHeight" to be the "gadgets.window.adjustHeight" function, but I'm not sure how far that would really get you. -Stanton
