Hi, I have a igoogle gadget that works except I cant figure out a way
to link to the canvas from within the iframe.

For example I have:

function display() {
           var html = '<iframe name="smallone" border="0" src="http://
myserver/small.html" height="200" width="100%" frameborder="0"
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"></iframe>';
           _gel('content_div').innerHTML = html;
           resize();
         }

If I put a link from the main xml file like:
    document.write('<a href="javascript:goToView(\'canvas\')">Test
Now</a>');
It works great.

However, If I try to link from within the iframe, it doesnt work. I
tried calling parent.goToView (this gave me a permission problem). I
tried including the google modules in my iframe, but it said gadgets
variable is not defined when trying to switch view there.

I notice new york times top stories has what I want, the "More News"
link takes you to the canvas. But they seem to be using json instead
of an iframe. Do I need to do this with json instead?

Also, is there a well known way to link to a canvas from an external
site? For example I want to put a link that will take users to the
canvas view within igoogle for a given gadget. Is this possible?

thanks
Joel
