Sign up to the sand box, add a gadget that uses an iframe, and inspect the results in firebug ... you'll notice that it does in fact use a proxy. Anyhow, whats using a proxy have to do with drag and drop anyhow? I don't see the correlation between the two.

If your talking about the thread you linked earlier: 
http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/90e77100785481da

This isn't about a HTTP proxy, but about the 'code that draws the transparent box that you see being dragged around', proxy is a rather generic word that is used a lot: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/proxy but in the case of that email he didn't mean a 'HHTP Proxy' (which acts as an agent between the gadget and a remote server by performing http requests for it) but a "agent that draws things on the browsers canvas". I think this confusion may have lead you on the wrong path on how to solve this

@Chris

I think iGoogle is not using any proxy there...

just put the <iframe> inside a <div> and use that div to drag.

or use the header (where the gadget title is displayed as the zone to
drag.
that part of the HTML is in the container page, no in the iframe

hope this helps

Thank you,

I don't know how it become possible in iGoogle. I am using jQuery UI.

Taking a look at iGoogle.com i would say that it -is- possible to
support
drag and drop while having gadgets in iframe's

I know that doesn't solve your problem, but i would strongly suggest
properly fixing your UI / drag&drop code, and not surrender all
security
of
your users just to avoid a UI coding problem :)

g'luck!

Technically speaking you could of course with a slight bit of

you really, really don't want to do this

The cross domain policy is the very basis for gadget security (aka
not
being able to behave like a virus and edit your profile info, spam
all
your
friends with LOLcat pictures and eat all your cookies).

Caja might solve this at some point in the future, but thats really
'future' and 'might' :)

Is there any way of creating gadgets without iFrames?
