Hi, the most direct way to view what's in a gadget (including source files) is to change its extension to ZIP and extract the contents.
But i'm a bit confused by your last lines, might you be referring to iGoogle gadgets? This is a Google Desktop group, so if you're referring to iGoogle gadgets you should probably ask this in their forum<http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Gadgets-API> .
