WaHTML waJS

waHTML and waJS are subsets of HTML and Javascript with specific tags and functions.

Using waHTML/waJS provides major benefits:

waHTML/waJS is the most universal format: unlike other formats, it works perfectly on mobile and desktop platforms
the widget is sized depending on the space available. This is particularly interesting with Startpages, where the space is limited and may vary depending on the width of the columns
the widget inherits the CSS style of the website where it resides. This is also interesting for Startpages, where a user may not be willing to have as many different visual styles as there are widgets
Custom Preferences can be set and stored on the host platform (where appropriate) directly from inside the widget
waHTML/waJS widgets support transparency, so they do not need to be rectangular

In order to develop a widget using waHTML/waJS, it is required to follow waHTML and waJS specific guidelines.
