Hi, Yes, it is not possible to use XMLHttpRequest in the Gadget, and not because it is a Gadget issue but because of the Single Origin restriction that a browser puts in. In short, a Single Origin restriction means that a page from domain Y can not access contains from domain X. In your case the gadget domain is the gmodule domain of Orkut (since you gadget runs inside Orkut or any container) and the code sitting there is trying to access youtube domain.
In order to get around this, the Gadget provides special apis to fetch contents from URLS (from any sites). The method you need to be using is gadgets.io.makeRequest. Here is the documentation and code snippets for this. 1. http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial/docs/0.7/reference/gadgets.io.html 2. http://code.google.com/p/opensocial-resources/wiki/GadgetsMakeRequest Hope this helps you. -Rohit Google Developer Programs Join us at Google's biggest developer event of the year May 28-29, San Francisco http://code.google.com/events/io On Thu, May 22, 2008 at 7:04 AM, sb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello guys > > Im new to developing gadgets.
