Is it possible to display a web page in a gadget?

Hi All,

Would you know if it is possible to show a web page in a gadget. We used to use active desktop to show our help desk calls which are in a sharepoint list - just a link to the list. Now that active desktop is gone in vista i was thinking about maybe trying to write a gadget which we could have on our desktop.

Any information would be great!

Thanks!

Yes that should be possible.

You could use a XMLHttpResponse Object to get the data you need from the website.

Just create a large Gadget and load the sharepoint page in an IFrame.

eg. gadget.html:

<html>
<body style="margin:0px; width:500px; height:500px;">
<iframe src="http://myserverlink.html" style="width:100%; height:100%"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

Then all you need is the gadget.xml, which you can copy from another Gadget.
