This is really bad. My development server uses port 8080 and suffers the same fate, only I can't just remove the port number from the URL. I can manually add gadgets with the URL to the gadget definition on 8080, but if you try to add via a URL, or share them within igoogle using iGoogles own links, I get the LabPixies Calculator instead.
Google has done a very, very thorough job of making iGoogle development difficult. I think I will pull the plug on my iGoogle development efforts and develop for all the other widget containers instead. On Jun 10, 1:26 pm, ty <[email protected]> wrote: > This is interesting.
