Peca55 Apply CSS file to xml/rss link?
Hi I'm still struggling with my first gadget production and need some help for the last problem (at least for this gadget). I'm developing Wikipedia gadget: searchbox and flyout that display the result. Well, it's works, almost... My Flyout opens xml link like this: http://www.blinkbits.com/en_wikifeeds_rss/Derek_Jeter It's doesn't looks so good since it has no stylesheet, so I have to provide someone. Question is, how can I apply css file to the content I don't have (it's just a link) There are my main.html and flyout.html files: main.html <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> ----------- some style --------- </style> <script language="javascript"> System.Gadge ...Show All

Jamie Gordon menu key
Hello, How can I hide a div when the menu key is pressed thanks. LevelX - there's actually are really stupid *quirk* with iHDsim that is likely the cause of why you are not seeing ctrl+M repsond correctly. That is.. iHDsim does not like alot of USB keyboards. it sounds stupid, but you either have to have a PS2 keyboard or a "microsoft" branded usb keyboard to get the keyboard shortcuts to work correctly. This has been the case in all of my experience with the sim so far. Currently my laptop that I do all my development on has it's keyboard wired to an internal usb port.. So while there's a long list of keyboard shortcuts for skipping chapters, menu keys, resume keys and all the norma ...Show All
Josh Holmes Problems with XBOX 360 HD DVD Player
I continue to run into issues with the xbox 360 hd dvd player every time I insert an hd concert dvd. I do not have any issues with the hd movies but have had issues with every concert inserted. Does anyone know of a solution The concerts are most likely "Standard Content" discs, which are basically the same as DVDs but with High definition video. (Contrast with "Advanced Content" discs like the Universal and Warner Bros. titles which have much more advanced menu systems than standard DVD). There are reports of compatibility issues with some Standard Content titles on the Xbox, and we are working on identifying and addressing them. Sorry for the inconvenience. That helps, ...Show All
Rhubarb Suggestions for Windows Sidebar
I thought that seeing how we had a Suggestions for Live Gallery post, we might as well list what we actually want to see with Gadgets, too. Post your suggestions here. With the recent problems I've been having, I'd like to start it off with: An easier way to install ActiveX controls that accompany gadgets. A great way to implement this would by to have a System.Gadget.addControl(string filelocation, boolean required). When the gadget is run, a notification pops up saying "This gadget requires the following activex, would you like to install Blah blah risk blah, etc etc". Allow a "lock flyout open" option. Flyouts are useful for displaying information, but if you want to copy something into notepad, for instance, when y ...Show All
Richard Watts background video loop
I want to have a menu page that has PEVOB001.MAP looping in the background...I have set up a title for it with it s the firstplay...but I am not getting anything playing...any help In theory 35 frames (more than 1/2 a second) should be more than enough to get the event and initiate the jump (assuming you aren't already running a runaway script that never terminates); it would only be an issue if you did it in (say) the last couple of frames. But maybe there is some other issue here that I am not aware of. There is no perfect way of doing it, I am afraid, other than using a playlist application (which persists across titles). A property value for "onEnd" that looped without restarting the title applications probably ...Show All
JesperStaal Important Notice About Playlist Applications and Timings
I received this in an email this morning. For those who have heavy use of markup, it could be very important. According to the HD DVD specification (Annex Z.2.2), Playlist Applications may not use the title clock. Although the current version of the Toshiba player/emulator does allow this, because the default clock of a timing section is the title clock, not specifying either the application clock or the page clock when authoring results in a disc that will break in future versions of the Toshiba player. Luckily I used page, but this means that different players have slightly different implementations of iHD what could mean that some discs can't be played on all HD DVD players which will irrita ...Show All
globemast Submission - what's the second file? Rejection reason?
Two things about gadget submission. 1. When you submit a gadget you get two fields for files. The first is for a thumbnail, but the second one requires a ZIP file and it doesn't say what the ZIP is supposed to contain (at least in FF). So wht should it be 2. I just submitted a WebGadget and it was rejected, sadly I didn't get any info as to why it was rejected so if somebody could get back to me on that I'd really appreciate it, since I can't fix things without any info. (It's definately not an IP problem, I wrote the game myself). Here's the gadget url: http://tapper-ware.net/patience/live/patience.xml And my website: http://www.tapper-ware.net/ Thank you... I simply looked at the tutorial and well, it ...Show All

ooboyle Test Disc Won't Play After Toshiba Firmware 2.0
Upon updating the firmware on the Toshiba player to 2.0, my test discs display player error codes. One change I had to make was the mapping of assets. For example, I changed my manifest file from: <Markup src=" file:///dvddisc/ADV_OBJ/main.aca/main.xml " /> <Script src= file:///dvddisc/ADV_OBJ/main.aca/main.js " /> <Resource src="file:///dvddisc/ADV_OBJ/main.aca"/> to: <Markup src=" main.xml " /> <Script src="main.js" /> <Resource src="file:///dvddisc/ADV_OBJ/main.aca"/> I suppose all references to PNGs in the markup file need to be readdressed as well. Has anyone else had this problem ...Show All

Melterx12 Elementary VC-1 for WME SE
Is there a release date in sight for elementary VC-1 support with the WMEncoder Studio Edition The resulting ASVs from the current release are great, but they don't work (because they're non-elementary streams) for authoring to media. This makes it difficult for our C&A division to sync projects with our HDi group... But how can we have have acces to PEP, Ben Thx for the help. Unfortunately, we don't have a date for the next version of WMV SE. PEP is our supported tool for VC-1 elementary stream encoding. Send me e-mail and I'll forward to folks who might be able to help.

smoothdogg00 validation
elem = document.createElement(tagName); I am not appending this 'elem' in markup document 1) The above document is a markup document. So, is it necessary to create an element with tagName(like div, p, timing....) mentioned in schema or can we use any user tagName 2) Will there be validation with schema for those elements and attributes created(not appended) at run time 3) If i append any element(that is not mentioned in schema) at run time, what will happen Thanks in advance Thanks peter. My doubt is whether we can create a element with any tagName (elem=document.createElement("yyy")). I am not appending this element(elem) anywhere in document. Is this also a invalid one ...Show All
FarReachJason Event Target
Hi Chapter 8 of specification gives the larger picture of Event Processing. It says that user events are fist processed by the script and after that markup gets chance to process the event. eg if a user presses a navigation key then first the script (through event handlers ..if one is regestered ) first processes the gesture and after that (if allowed by script) the markup processes the gesture --changes the focus to the next element (depending on the navigation key). If the above is correct then this means the target for the keyboard events is always the current focused element. One exception might be access ( or shortcut) keys in which case the target is the element for which the short key is defined. ie script cannot override the acc ...Show All
John128 How to record from 'Wave' or 'Stereo Mix' in Vista?
Hi all, On Windows XP or earlier, I could capture the audio stream to the speacker not from the external device (maybe endpoint device in Vista) like the microphone. In other words, D irectSoundCapture was able to capture from the selected recording device/source line in the Windows record control utility or mixerXXX APIs. And if "Wave Out Mix" or "Stereo Mix" or something similar was selected as recording source line, D irectSoundCapture was able to record the audio stream to the speacker. However, I could not find the way to do that in Windows Vista. Windows record control utility in Vista is just showing only external devices (endpoint devices) like mic., line-in or S/PDIF in but I could not find "Wav ...Show All
