Gadget Content - Reloading/Refreshing on Move
Dear All,
We have developed a gadget solution initially using Shindig with ASP.NET
pages. The beta site can be seen here http://beta.blueg.com
We are using the http://jqueryui.com/sortable/ jquery plugin for gadget drag
and drop.
However, we are having some issues when gadgets are re-positioned on the
page and wondered if such issues had previously been encountered whilst
developing Rave? Initially when this occurred under IE, gadgets would lose
their data and consequently appear collapsed (IE displayed several error
messages such as 'unescape' is undefined).
It transpires this was likely a problem relating to moving iFrames in the
DOM, similar to the issue described here
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8389261/ie9-throws-exceptions-when-loadin
g-scripts-in-iframe-why
We've made some changes to successfully remove the IE errors by clearing
gadget content during each move operation. We did so with reference to this
article
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg622929(v=VS.85).aspx?ppud=4
However, the above solution is unsatisfactory since each time users move a
gadget, its content is re-loaded.
Can anyone help with a coding sample that achieves the movement of gadgets
without the need to clear gadget content and which also works under IE?
Your help is much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Darren

Some of iGoogle's gadgets were inlined with Caja. Those are probably the
ones you have seen

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the comments. It's an inconvenience more than anything else and
something we can probably accept. I was just looking over some previous
footage of iGoogle in operation and it seemed to provide a seamless move
operation with no visible refresh at all. Presumably it was refreshing the
content but somewhat more subtly.
Kind regards,
Darren

Hi Darren,
IFrame Reloads during movement in the DOM are something that the browser
controls. Not sure if it still does, but firefox would always reloaded
iFrames if they were reparented.
At my last company, we found that refreshing the content on a gadget move
was not a blocking issue as users rarely repositioned content within their
pages. Is this a major issue for your solution, or just an inconvenience?
