Widgets on low memory devices

Hi,

I've been reviewing the widget requirements with regard to implementation on
low memory devices. Within our proposed implementation we would like to have
widgets with one or more views - essentially a minimized view for the
"widget dashboard" with an option for a widget to maximize to full screen.

This is possible within the framework you have proposed, however for a
single "index.html" it still requires that all views are loaded by the
browser or widget engine.

My question is whether the ideal implementation of multiple views should be:

- Separate html files within the widget - essentially requiring that each
view can save state to pass to the other.
- Individual div sections in the index.html with style.display = "none" for
views that should be removed from memory.
- ..something else?

Would it be possible for the group to suggest a recommended method of
supporting multiple views and include this in their documentation? This
would help both widget runtime developers and widget authors.

Many thanks,

Alex.
