That's really not a silly question! Containers usually employ a dedicated gadget server that fetches (and usually caches) the XML gadget spec and takes care of rendering it. For google, we use a gadget server at gmodules.com. When you see a rendered gadget, it is actually an iframe pointing to http://<subdomain>.gmodules.com/46/o/ig/ifr?url=<url of your gadget here>&<other parameters here>
What the container does is wire up some calls between itself and the gadget server, so that the gadget can do things like request data from the container, or resize the iframe that contains its rendered view. I hope this helps, ~Arne On Fri, Mar 7, 2008 at 6:10 AM, APF <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have a silly noob question: > > How does content integration work with XML files?
