Reinier is correct there, it's more complicated than I was making it. That Digg script works quite a bit differently than I was guessing before I actually looked at it. What I meant is still possible, but probably not what you want depending on the situation. If your host page has a separate div for your GWT content, and a separate div for the little Digg script, what I originally said should work - but it would always just link ("digg") to your host page (which would be your entire GWT app in the canonical case).
To do this right, it looks like you would need to make sure your GWT app uses History and then you need to "Digg" the correct state with the tokens and so on. You could use HTML as Reinier suggests, and make sure to change the URL for the Digg button each time you have different state: <script type="text/javascript"> digg_url = 'WEBSITE_URL'; </script> <script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/ javascript"></script> Looks like they also have a "submit your own" thing that you could just make a GET request to to submit: http://digg.com/submit?url=example.com&title=TITLE&bodytext=DESCRIPTION&media=MEDIA&topic=TOPIC. (With that you could make your own buttons or links or whatever, and then just make the digg request with proper params. You could use that and make a Digg GWT Widget? Sorry I piped up though, I don't really know much about Digg in particular, I was just trying to make suggestions in the general GWT sense.)
