HI David, runAsync() may or may not be a perfect fit, and I'd advise against putting all your eggs in that basket. If you truly want to load an open-ended set of things dynamically (like iGoogle), then runAsync() won't really help. It will only help you load a static script in chunks. It isn't clear yet which release it will be in, but I would guess the end of Q1 2009 is the earliest you'd see it. If you're sure you need an open-ended set of widgets to load dynamically, I think you could probably create a custom architecture to do this fairly easily. You'd have one core module and then additional independent modules (perhaps one per widget) that assume they're loaded only if the core module is already loaded. The per-widget modules would use overlay types to access shared functionality from the core module. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
