Thanks for your reply, Lee. I've been working on and off over the last couple of days and I think I'm stuck.
The code I'm using can be found here -- http://code.google.com/p/googlewaverobots/source/browse/trunk/robottestwave/robottestwave.py and the gadget is found here http://code.google.com/p/googlewaverobots/source/browse/trunk/robottestwave/public/dropdown.xml (I decided to try to replicate the translation robot, as it seemed like it'd teach me a good amount about python and the APIs) Anyway, the problem I'm having is that I can't get the robot, when a new blip is submitted, to read the state of the gadget, but when I modify the languages in the dropdown options it gets them fine. I think the problem is in how I search for the gadget, as when I modify the state of the gadget it works well, but if I don't it doesn't find the gadget. I searched the groups and can't find a way of doing this that works for me. I tried making global variables so that when the gadget is modified the language pairs would likewise be modified. I made two variables fr and to (language from which and to which we're translating) and in the onBlipSubmitted I did a global fr and global to and tried modifying them in the gadget key, elem gadget loop but to no avail -- I got no errors, but it wouldn't modify the values for me. You can also see what I've tried on the previous revisions of the code. If I set a default value for the global variables I can't change it, and if I don't set anything it says that the global name is not defined. Any help is very much appreciated. Cheers.
