Hi Matt, Thanks for the comments. It's an inconvenience more than anything else and something we can probably accept. I was just looking over some previous footage of iGoogle in operation and it seemed to provide a seamless move operation with no visible refresh at all. Presumably it was refreshing the content but somewhat more subtly.
Kind regards, Darren -----Original Message----- From: Matt Franklin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 04 December 2013 13:52 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Gadget Content - Reloading/Refreshing on Move Hi Darren, IFrame Reloads during movement in the DOM are something that the browser controls. Not sure if it still does, but firefox would always reloaded iFrames if they were reparented. At my last company, we found that refreshing the content on a gadget move was not a blocking issue as users rarely repositioned content within their pages. Is this a major issue for your solution, or just an inconvenience?
