Sorry to be pedantic, but I want to make sure I understand the spec... Would 'abcetragg12345345' really be legal? The gadget spec: http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/reference/#gadgets.Prefs.getModuleId specifies the 'gadgets.Prefs.getModuleId' method as: String, Number getModuleId() I'm not sure what the "String, Number" bit means. I thought I'd previously read something that said it meant a JavaScript string which is guaranteed to only contain numeric (0-9) characters. But now I can't find that (or any other guidance on this terminology). So maybe I just imagined it. In any case... Can someone clarify what it means?
