Subject:Custom module affecting other modules on the same tab

Hi,

I have recently created my own module which basically works like Google's Stock Market module except my module uses different techniques to fetch data. In case you haven't already notice, Google Stock Market (GMS) module is built-in and has nice preferences under 'edit' menu.

My module basically has 5 UserPrefs so that the users can pre-defined 5 stocks that they wish to keep track of. This is not a problem.

Then what happens is, I run a _IG_FetchContent(..) on UserPref values that are not empty. And process - render them one at a time.

Everything works fine *IF* this module is placed in a tab where there are no other Google modules that fetch content from external sites. However, when I place my module along with other modules such as GSM and Weather (also by Google and built-in) the built-in modules aren't working - i.e., unable to fetch data.

Right now my ModulePref's attributes are set to:

title="__MSG_title__" author="__MSG_author__" author_location="__MSG_location__" author_email="__MSG_email__" author_link="__MSG_url__" author_aboutme="__MSG_aboutme__" author_quote="__MSG_quote__" directory_title="__MSG_directory_title__" description="__MSG_description__" render_inline="optional" scaling="false" scrolling="false" thumbnail="__MSG_thumbnail__" screenshot="__MSG_screenshot__"

Am I missing something here? I tried my best to search this groups and Google's tutorial on Homepage API, but I can't seem to find an answer to this problem. Your help will be greately appreciated as this is the stepping stone for my upcoming module work(s).
