Hey Ian, Thanks very much for your reply.
I don't absolutely need the widget-y stuff, no.. I gave this a quick bash to see if I could get something working quickly. I have a simple GWT app that should add a button to the end of the page it loads in. It works OK in a test page on my machine, loading the .js file from a remote server (I have compiled it for cross site access). However when I get a firefox extension to embed the script in a page on page load, it seems to lock up the page.. it'll load the right page initially, but then it 'redirects', almost, to a blank page and loads i perpetually. Not sure if there's a quick and easy answer to that question, maybe there's more configuration that needs doing in order to allow a gwt app to be dynamically added to an arbitrary page (?)
