So your setup involves two servers using two different ports? If that's the case, it means your container is not the same origin as your gadget server, which will break gadget RPC unless you take some steps to repair it (below). Dynamic height is implemented using gadget RPC, which is why dynamic height would break.
Steps to repair gadget RPC if you container is not the "same origin" as the gadget server: 1) Within the container, make sure to set each gadget's server base (setServerBase) to the right gadget server url in each gadget's constructor 2) copy javascript/container/rpc_relay.html to a path on your container web server such that the url to access that file is "/gadgets/files/container/rpc_relay.html". This url path can be tweaked to be something different by configuring the gadget server. The above is from memory so it might need a slight tweak. But the general idea is that rpc works by bouncing responses between origins by using iframes. Each origin needs it's own copy of rpc_relay.html in a predictable location, so the other origin knows where it is. If the contianer and gadget server are on the same origin, then the existing location works out just fine for both. If the container is on a separate origin, the container needs a copy of rpc_relay.html, and then it needs to be put in a place where the gadget server knows where it is. By default the gadget server tries to use a file on the container's origin of: "http://<container-host>/gadgets/files/container/rpc_relay.html". The ending can be changed by configuring the shindig gadget server. The way to check if RPC can find that rpc_relay.html file or is to use Firefox + Firebug (or any other DOM inspection debugger). Every time you try to use dynamic height, the gadget will generate a new internal iframe to try to transmit the call to the container. So if you find your gadget's iframe in the DOM, there will be new iframe's inside of it with a src attribute pointing to the container's rpc_relay.html. If the contents of this iframe is a http 404, then you know it's not configured correctly (and this is most likely what's going on right now). When RPC is working, the contents of this iframe should match the contents of rpc_relay.html I hope this helps -Tim On Fri, Jun 6, 2008 at 4:18 AM, Neo Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have my gadgets container(Shindig code/javascript/container) files in > Apache server and my gadgets server is running at 8080 port.
