Hi Stanton, Thanks for the feedback.
Here’s a working (or non-working) example of the problem. Just drop this in your common container directory along-side index.html. <html><body onload="init();"><div id="1"></div></body></html> <script type="text/javascript" src="../../../gadgets/js/container.js?c=1&debug=1&container=default"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> function init() { var gadgetXml = 'https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/445894/gadgets/settitle.xml'; var container = new osapi.container.Container({}); var gadgetSite = container.newGadgetSite( document.getElementById('1') ); container.navigateGadget(gadgetSite, gadgetXml, [], {}); // log active site immediately (undefined) console.log("activeSiteHolder1=" + gadgetSite.getActiveSiteHolder()); // log active site 1 second later (now has a value) setTimeout(function() { console.log("activeSiteHolder2=" + gadgetSite.getActiveSiteHolder()); }, 1000); } </script> and the output "activeSiteHolder1=undefined" "activeSiteHolder2=[object Object]" Occasionally even activeSiteHolder2 will still be undefined. A refresh usually causes it to have a value. activeSiteHolder1 always appears to be undefined. This occasionally bites us with our chrome not rendering (chrome not shown here) because it’s dependent on finding the gadget element. Should I reopen or create a new jira? I can try to look into why it’s doing this. Any suggestions are welcome. I tried to wait for the onRender lifecycle callback, and even that didn’t work. Also (Ryan included), about my earlier question about updating the wiki with my module_id discoveries… how is that commonly done. Funneled through someone?

I did find [1] which I encountered a year ago or so. What version of Shindig are you using? At what point in the gadget lifecycle are you trying to get the active holder?

I use this to add chrome to my gadget. Sometimes this fails because the active site holder isn’t set yet. If I delay for a second (or add an alert) then it’s set. I even tried adding an onRender lifecycle callback, with the same result (I figured if I was getting the callback rendering should be done). It appears that it’s either suppose to return loadingGadgetHolder or currentGadgetHolder. Ideas? doug
