No, not really, but you can use a local SQLite database in a pretty organized way. Here's a tip<http://googledesktopapis.blogspot.com/2008/07/tip-embed-sqlite3-database.html>about that. But from what i can tell you don't need it to be local. (please read on) 2.can we, by any chance include any other file (except, .js or .XML > files)in the project. Yes. The simpler gadgets usually have a main.xml which defines the interface and a main.js. You can have as many .js files you want (within reason :). Be careful though, all these answers apply only to Google Desktop gadgets, not to iGoogle gadgets; just mentioned to be sure there isn't any confusion.. > > 3.how do i connect my gadget to the database? I wrote an article about this, it's about to go live, but until then here<http://teodorfilimon.com/articles/Gadget-Usage-Stats/Gadget-Usage-Stats.htm>'s an unpublished version. > > 4.How to call a webservice from javascript ?as i could find no other > option! You can do this through the XMLHttpRequest object. This article<http://code.google.com/apis/desktop/articles/e9.html>should help. Javascript is basically the recommended way of programming a Google Desktop gadget. The API is growing pretty much lately and it has a variety of functions. You can check out the API reference<http://code.google.com/apis/desktop/docs/gadget_apiref.html> . I hope this helps, Teo -- Teo (a.k.a. Teominator a.k.a.
