Gadget Specification XML Features

The following table lists supported features that can be specified in the Gadget Specification XML or are available as an API for use in the JavaScript code of a gadget.

Name

Description

Locale

The <Locale> element specifies the locales that the gadget supports. The Finesse Desktop Gadget Container takes the locale provided by the browser and renders the gadget with the specific message bundle when available.

ModulePrefs: Scrolling

The Scrolling attribute of the ModulePrefs tag renders the gadget frame with a value of auto for scrolling.

When the content exceeds the viewport, the browser renders a vertical or horizontal scrollbar. For a better user experience, use the gadgets.window.adjustHeight API to dynamically resize the gadget as needed instead of using this feature.

ModulePrefs: Title

The string provided is used for the title of the gadget shown in the title bar.

You can also use the gadgets.window.setTitle API to set the title at runtime, which may offer more flexibility.

loadingindicator

Displays a loading message while the gadget is loading.
