Yep, that's the problem all right.

Hmmm. My PolyClock gadget's working fine for me since I implemented
the workaround (see below). In what browser are you having trouble,
might I ask?

I agree - that's what I said in the thread where he suggested it.

This isn't my experience, with a number of other gadgets. A non-blank
default value seems to suppress the extra hash parameter that's
causing all the trouble. Can you post a counterexample? It might be
helpful in getting to the bottom of this.

That's what I ended up doing with PolyClock. Here's a function to do
so, if you need one:
function getURLParameter (name)
{
var regex = new RegExp('[;?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)');
var result = regex.exec(window.location.href);
if (result != null)
result = decodeURIComponent(result[1].replace('+', ' '));
return result;
};
Let us know how you do,
String
