Parameters to Gadget XML

[Wade Girard <Wa...@Calabrio.com>]

Is is possible to read parameters that are passed in through the URL to the gadget, in the gadget?

Example Href: http://localhost/my/gadgets/HelloWorld.xml?name=foobar

Could I then, in the javascript in my gadget, read the value of name from the url parameter?

Thanks in advance

Wade, the gadget URL is transformed into HTML and returned from the
server when a request is made to the /ifr endpoint.  The server does
not take into account any user parameters on the URL it just uses the
XML returned from hitting that URL.  If it was a servlet returning the
XML for example you could then use them in the XML returned from the
servlet.  There are other things like view parameters that can be
passed to a gadget via the container when it renders the gadget.
Without knowing more about your use case I am not sure if that will
work for you.
