Correct, the window object in the widget would be the same reference to the window object any object or iframe has. Note that there are a few methods you would not expect to work if an in-page widget was running, such as moveTo or resizeTo, but the same applies for any object with a window object (*ML documents in object/iframe). > On 2/22/07, Stephen Paul Weber <singpolyma@gmail.com> wrote: >> The Widgets draft <http://www.w3.org/TR/widgets/> seems to be meant for >> offline widgets (ala Google Desktop).

The bigger problem, if you're looking to embed these widgets in web pages is the security model of widgets, that allow for cross-domain XMLHttpRequest. -- Arve Bersvendsen, Web Applications Developer Opera Software ASA, http://www.opera.com/
