Thanks for posting the link - I was actually surprised to see that page still online, since it was written against the legacy iGoogle implementation. Looks like someone removed that page from the left navigation, but didn't actually remove the page itself, which is out of date and will be removed/updated.
There is a new gadgets.pubsub feature implemented in the gadgets.* rendering code. This new pubsub feature is actually in use in some other containers in Europe and Japan, but it doesn't look to be hooked up in the iGoogle sandbox yet - I've filed a ticket internally asking for it to be implemented. >From your other posts, it seems like you were interested in bouncing this pubsub data off of a remote server. This is currently supported through the use of gadgets.io.makeRequest - you'll be able to POST information to a backend and poll from the other gadget to see changes without needing to reload, but this approach isn't as fast as a direct pubsub call, which would skip the server roundtrip entirely. Let me know if you have any more questions, I'll work on making sure that the docs get fixed so that they won't mislead other developers in the future. ~Arne On Jun 17, 12:00 pm, Timothy Collins <[email protected]> wrote: > The code was a direct copy/paste from the first example on this page > :http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/pubsub.html > > On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 2:58 PM, Arne > > Roomann-Kurrik<[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi Furby, > > > Vague rant about Google's "release early and often" policies aside, > > could you give me some more information about what code you attempted > > to run, and where you got the example code?
