the hello world sample didn't work for me either "Hello world! Here is your portfolio:<br/> GOOG: <span id=_IG_SYM1_l></span> (<span id=_IG_SYM1_c></span>)<br/> AAPL: <span id=_IG_SYM2_l></span> (<span id=_IG_SYM2_c></span>)<br/> INTC: <span id=_IG_SYM3_l></span> (<span id=_IG_SYM3_c></span>)<br/>
<script type="text/javascript"> var quote = new google.finance.Quote(); quote.enableDomUpdates( { 'GOOG' : '_IG_SYM1', 'AAPL' : '_IG_SYM2', 'INTC' : '_IG_SYM3' } );
quote.getQuotes(["GOOG", "AAPL", "INTC"]); </script> "

Actually I think that the finance gadget API may not work correctly in the gadget editor. You could put your gadget xml spec on a website somewhere and add it as normal to iGoogle for testing purposes to see the API in action.

Hi,
I'm new to this whole google finance API. I apologize ahead of time if I'm asking a redundant question.
1. My goal is to monitor a set of quotes from the shanghai stock exchange. If there are any significant movements (say stock X went up by more than 1%), I would like the movement to be displayed in a custom manner. Would the finance gadget would fit my needs? I understand fromhttp://blogs.zdnet.com/Google/?p=1060 that google finance does have quotes from the shang hai exchange.
2. I started poking around with the finance gadget. I was wondering if
anyone has experienced any problems with the hello world finance
gadget sample as referenced by the first page of financial gadgets
-http://code.google.com/apis/finance/docs/finance-gadgets.html#hello_w...
The example here is supposed to show quotes for GOOG, AAPL, and INTC. According to the webpage, I should see something like this -
Hello world! Here is your portfolio: GOOG: 631.58 (+15.58) AAPL: 171.46 (+1.88) INTC: 26.65 (+1.17)
However, when I copied the sample code over to a google gadget editor, with no modifications, I only see the following.
Hello world! Here is your portfolio: GOOG: - (-) AAPL: - (-) INTC: - (-)
I've only tried this after the market closes. I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
Has anyone ran the hello world sample with success? Were there any modifications to the source code? Does it matter what system/browser was used?
thanks
mark
