Hey Václav,
Your question doesn't make it entirely clear what exactly your trying
to accomplish so forgive us for guessing to what your trying to do :)
As Chewy pointed out, if you want to somehow include the javascript
libraries from an open social container in your own site and have it
work (being able to get profile information via a newPersonRequest()
in your own html page for instance), then no that's indeed not
possible. There's a lot more in play then just a bit of javascript
(authentication, configuration, cross domain policies, and so on).
What might help you accomplish what your after (if your trying to get
to social information inside of your own site), is the upcomming
RESTful API, which is made for 3rd parties connecting to the social
data back-end of a social network site. See this link for more info:

Also don't overlook the possibility of creating an open social gadget,
there is a potential audience of aprox 300 mil (i don't know what the
exact number is today, it was 280 before and it's growing rapidly), so
quite often when you have a great idea, making a gadget and posting it
on those social network sites (myspace, orkut, hi5, imeem, idtail,
netlog, etc etc etc) is a great way to reach a large audience and can
save a lot of work of having to attract people to go visit your own
site. It's not always the best option, but depending on your concept,
sometimes it is :)

I think you're asking if you can host a gadget on example.com and
call the
javascript include from, say, orkut.com right?
This won't really work, because you don't ever call the JS directly
- it
comes from a module/require statement.
So, no, I don't think that will work.
Apologies if I'm totally wrong here, and have got the wrong end of the
stick.

Hi all,
Is possible to use opensocial javascript API in container context
(from my
html pages) directly?
Thanks,
