The gadgets on iGoogle don't follow the W3C Widget Spec, there's some overlap between what W3C Widgets are meant to do with iGoogle Gadgets. The specification that iGoogle Gadgets follows is OpenSocial, see http://wiki.opensocial.org/index.php?title=JavaScript_API_Reference .
The html content type in an OpenSocial gadget could really be taken to mean "stuff that goes on a web page" since it can also include html5 elements (see http://igoogledeveloper.blogspot.com/2010/05/html5-in-gadgets-on-igoogle.html), Adobe Flash and SVG content (see http://www.google.com/ig/directory?type=gadgets&url=www.google.com/ig/modules/datetime_v2/datetime_v2.xml). hth, Rob Russell Google Developer Relations On Fri, Jun 4, 2010 at 11:37 AM, hera <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > There's two content types on the Gadget API, i.e. HTML and URL. > > I'm wondering if the "content type" only supported on iGoogle? > > I didn't find the similar definition on W3C Web Widget Spec, but I'm > not sure whether I missed something. > > If you know the answer, please reply. > > Thanks in advance :) > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "iGoogle Developer Forum" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]<google-gadgets-api%[email protected]> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Gadgets-API?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iGoogle Developer Forum" group.
