You will need to use event.keyCode for this.

Sorry, that last message wasn't too clear.

I'm trying to determine what the user has pressed as far as a key goes. Trying to do this with an 'onkeypress' command.

Thanks,

Well, the Gadget Designer (as a WYSIWYG) isn't the only solution. I made gadgets in Notepad for quite a while :) But it has some advantages, and you can edit the code in the Designer as well.

I don't really understand what doesn't work. If you're referring to the previously discussed example, i would use a <label> for the 'normal' part, and an <a> for the link.

About the input methods; yes, edit boxes (<edit>) are the solution.

The best sample source is the SDK: http://desktop.google.com/downloadsdksubmit?hl=en You can change the gadgets within to experiment and see how it works. Once you figure it out, it should all come natural.

Teo,

Thanks for your reply. I've read through the document, but am still at a loss to get the Gadget Designer application to really edit my code accordingly. It seems every time I edit something in code view, things crash. Can google desktop Gadgets only be created through this application? I can't seem to find a good example of input fields within a gadget. Right now I've created two 'edit boxes' as my input fields. Is this the right method?

I've created a Yahoo Widget that is functional with XML, but am really struggling with the Google Gadget because I can't see code examples of how things work when passing variables to a javascript file.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi,

you can't put in regular HTML tags, but you can still do this XML fashion, some tags differ a bit. This page will give you a good start:

Hello there,

I'm developing Gadgets at the moment and am having difficulties using the Desktop Gadget Designer. I had success with an iGoogle Gadget, please see here:

http://gmodules.com/ig/creator?url=http://hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gad.

But upon trying to code my HTML form into the gadget in Desktop Gadget Designer, I keep getting errors. Is there no way to implement HTML code into the mail.xml file with this:

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,
