Hi Jesse, Oh, ok, now I see your issue. I was able to reproduce the problem from my side too. Yes, looks like the fetch is failing consistently... I can not provide any explanation why this is returning you a 404. This could be Google preventing the fetch, or the site not wanted to return data to the iGoogle fetchers...
Anyway, I thought of another option for you: why not make your canvas view in the mode url, not html? This way, the site you want ot allow to browse is simply rendered by the browser in the canvas iframe. Just replace your canvas section with the following: <Content view="canvas" type="url" href="__UP_fasturl__" /> I have verified that this work and put the test online for convenience: http://www.ljmsite.com/google/gadgets/tests/iBrowser01.xml If you are worried about users not adding the proper http:// at the beginning of the fasturl, this would be fairly simple to add in the non canvas view some code to set the preference with the corrected URL format, this way this will ensure your substituted canvas href is a valid URL. I hope this help.
