[...] This technique is based on embedding a script on the host site that will refer to a script residing on your service. The script should then dynamically create the widget on the host site by manipulating the DOM and adding stylesheets and script tags as needed. Dr. Nic gives a nice overview of this technique in this detailed tutorial. [...]

Hi,

This is a greatt post, and maybe i missed something, but you didn’t explain about interaction. Just about “dynamic data”
If i want to insert a form in any web site by this technique. I will want to have a roundtrip to my server when user puts data in.

Are there techniques to do that?

Thank you

This method looks great.

I am trying to make a widget that will be able to be put on any website. It simply will display text/link based on the current day.

So my content (day_list.js) needs has several entries…

Not sure the best way to handle this…
Say I have 100 entries and it’s on the 56th day. So the widget displays the 56th item but the user also needs to be able to scroll through the list of days…

Is this possible using this method?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
