Issues

  • The Netvibes ajax proxy returns an empty response when the skin, _js or _meta parameters contain full url. In order to avoid this, put all the ressources in the same directory as the source file, and specify only the name of the skin, waJS and meta resources.

Gallery

Various web widgets are available on the gallery.
