Hi Dan,

Glad to have you back. Let me just say that I have no issue with you
personally - you certainly deserve a vacation - but I do still have
issues with Google on some of these fronts.

But, moving on to the issue at hand. The code I posted in this thread
was just an example I made up to demonstrate the scenario; the actual
gadget where I saw these issues is a lot more complicated. And the
issues were definitely intermittent; the gadget was fine on my iGoogle
but broken for some users, but broken on syndication for me as well -
unless I added nocache=1 to the url, at which point it worked again.
I'd be interested to know how you forced the rewriting to happen in
your test environment.

Also, my gadget's problem was due to its <style> being overwritten -
sorry if that wasn't clear in my original post. The comment about
dynamic-height was just conjecture, although one that makes sense in
light of the evidence I saw. My gadget was definitely also losing some
JS as a result of this problem. Can I ask, when you ran my sample
gadget with content-rewriting on, what happened to its CSS?

And it's also good news that we can turn this off (with the OS
rewriter controls) - although that's less important now that we know
what the problem is, and can restructure code to avoid it.

Finally, your explanation of this being due to "a content-rewriting
experiment and not a gadgets.* experiment" makes perfect sense to me.
I can't dispute which Google experiment broke this code. But my later
point stands: why are these experiments being done in the live
environment? Why were they not trialled in the sandbox?

Thanks,

String
