Hey Dan,

Thanks a lot, I seen the snippet and fixed them. I am trying to test
some of the affected ones and I am having quite a few issues with the
sandbox today. I keep having to sign in as it for some reason keeps
signing me out and bumping me back to the legacy version.

Also when I first updated them I was getting a Google error page back
where my gadgets content should be, then it started to work find for a
bit now they are all blank. Even when I open the gadget in a new
window, it is just blank.

I am using the developer gadget and have the caching un-checked
(disabled)

Are there some other significant issues with the sandbox what would
cause all this? I don't think that one snippet i fixed should be
causing this and the files are available online and seem to be working
fine and well formed etc.

Any thoughts?

Many thanks again for that, I just could not find what the issue was
with them. All I got back was "l" is not defined. :-(

Cheers!
Vision Jinx
