All-in-One XML Web Gadget?

I have just developed a special ATOM feed that really needs to be rendered in a Gadget in order to be best viewed -- the inline HTML must be viewable when someone "subscribes" to the feed, so I easily developed a Google Gadget, which was easy. Everything was inline, maintainable in one XML document.

When I explored the Live Gadgets, it seems to me that all the examples in the SDK call external documents: html, CSS, and JavaScript.

Is there anyway one can write a Live.com Web Gadget all-in-one The ATOM feed is very simple, all of the content being held within the [CDATA[...]] wrapper.

The same thing with the Google Gadget:

< xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" >
<Module>
<ModulePrefs title="Google Gadget" scrolling="true" height="150
" />
<Content type="html">
<![CDATA[
HTML CONTENT
]]>
</
Content>
</Module>

Is there any way to go about doing the same simple inline solution for the MSN/Live Web Gadget Thanks in advance!

    No, there is no way to write an all-in-one Webgadget for live

    As the SDK says you need a xml, js and css for a gadget.

    You could write an additional xml with html data.
    Then add a function in your Javascript to pull out the html of your extra xml

    There's an example in the SDK
