It worked fine for some days, but now it doesn't show any weather forecasts (I have v. 0.9). In firefox I can't see the tabs and even keying in lat/long (in decimals) doesn't help. In IE7 it's the same. What's wrong? I added and configured the yr-widget on Netvibes a couple of weeks ago.

It was anoying that I didn't manage to make a perfect solution. So as I said don't think I have much chance in the competetition. I just got too litle time to get a solution working on everything. I was concidering removing the whole Google Maps and do a simpler solution. But it is the Google Maps integration that is cool, I have never seen any similar solution :-) More then 70% of my visitors use FireFox. I wish that was reprecentative for the rest of the world too... not only the developers that visit this site! Becouse on FireFox the widget is great hehe. Oh well doesn't really matter I already have a ultra portable laptop... but I still don't like to loose :-) Good luck with the competition Bendik. Seems you have choosen a more versitile soltution that works fine, so you might have a shot. Would have been interesting to know how many have entered the competition.

I think you had a great idea to use the Google maps to solve the problem of finding places. But I am sorry to say that I am not surprised over your cross-domain problem. It has killed some widgets ideas I have had before (SMS from tlf.no). I used geonames to find the places, although I don’t think it is a perfect solution. I hope Yr will make a place search API. As for the widget to work on other platforms I can agree on that it is hard if not impossible to get it to work 100% on all platforms. Good luck in the competition. Hi Lars,

Thanks a lot for the article. It helped me at least find a solution. Not perfect but much better then having to abandon the whole idea! :-) The problem with IE7 is that it default have a security setting that is called "Navigate sub-frames across different domains". That is disabled by default and you need to enable it for this way to work. And as I said it will still not work when the whole widget is in an iframe not even when you change the security setting in IE7. If anyone have any ideas to fix the problem feel free to tell me. Yeah you are correct. It also was a problem that I actually have to register the domain I want to run Google Maps in. I just forgot to mention it. Hi Michael.

Do you recall which security settings it failed on? I wonder if there's a workaround ... BTW another possible issue here is google maps unfortunately requires a different API key for each document it runs in. If it runs in the main widget, it will only work on one widget platform (unless you try to do some cleverness like detecting the container). This could be another reason to hold it in an iframe, where it is always sitting in the same domain. Hi Lars,
