Hey Erel,
It would seem that gadgets.js (the sample container js code)
requestNavigateTo is erroring out, i get the same thing if i try an
app that navigates in the sample container (see http://www.shindig-demo.org/
for a hosted java based demo).
If you'd run this in a container with a working requestNavigateTo rpc
implementation you'd be able to get past that point, however
unfortunately typeracer is tied to specific platforms (http://typeracer.com/orkut/gadget.xml
and http://typeracer.com/hi5/gadget.xml for instance) and they don't
have a 'open social compliant version' that will work on any open
social container ;(
To be completely honest most social apps are tied to specific
containers at the moment, and the rare few that are not either require
your public key to be able to verify your signed requests (and often
work on their end to add your container, etc), or require a version
that works on your specific container.. So what that leaves you with
is either the sample gadgets, iGoogle style gadget's that are not
social, or a very few rare apps that are social but don't do signed
requests / require back-end configuration on their end.
http://opensocial.musicmazaa.com/app/index.xml is such an gadget for
instance that is social and works 'everywhere', but with the obvious
downside that if requests are not signed ... well there is no way to
validate the owner / viewer so 'hacking' the info is as simple as
changing an ID in firebug.

OK, I picked at random some application that looked both simple and

the TypeRacer application
( http://typeracer.com/orkut/gadget.xml ).
It works fine on Orkut, so I am sure it has no bugs.
I put the link inside javcascript/container/sample2.html, so that I
can be
sure that all javascript files are included correctly.
When I clicked the "play now" link, I got a javascript error:
"this.getGadgetIdFromModuleId is not a function"
The trace shows:
* gadgets.IfrGadgetService.prototype.requestNavigateTo (in
gadgets.js)
* process (in rpc.js)
* getRelayUrl (in rpc.js)
Probably, the gadget tried to call "requestNavigateTo" to navigate
to a
different view, but got an error.
Do you have any clue, what have gone wrong?
