Tim,

Thanks for the reply.

Are you saying that instead of using shindig for that, to go ahead and
just load the iframe/div with the data from the URL? 

You could say that we are attempting to use Shindig in a different way
than prescribed and I am leaning more on exactly the method. A list of
URL's, for each URL, create a div an inner i-frame with the url
received.

On our side, a user is shown a list of gadgets, gadgets don't have
preferences that a user can edit.

The information the gadget needs are to be sent through url parameters.

Also, caching is disabled.

I believe that the content from the url will be cached (possibly for a
really long time), so you should be using a static url.

If you want to add dynamic content in there then I'd make an AJAX
request and replace the content of a div.

Could be missing something, but this is my understanding (and what I've
assumed where I'm running shindig)
