Finally we got an initiatives from W3C, a working draft of Widgets packaging and development spec is published on 9th of this month(November,2006). If this draft comes live and gets real supports from widgets providers like Yahoo, Google,MSN, whole developer community will be very happy and web2.0 and RIA development on Javascript will not remains a nightmare anymore for web developers. Yes there are lot of scope to improve the working draft and we all hope that it will get a better shape very soon with active participations of big brothers.So as per W3C “Widgets are web applications which use the browser as an environment to run in, but which do not have the usual browser chrome. They are installed on a local client, and have several features that are not available to regular web applications, such as a more explicit security model to allow them to perform a wider range of tasks easily, and a persistent information store apart from cookies.”Every Widgets must contain information to initialization of the widget and some other optional meta informations. index.html will be the main document for the widget itself. And this html file are allowed to access/uses external contents like scripts,CSS files and images but are not limited to that only. SVG and XHTML are also under considerations. So lets hope for the healthy and easy life for widget spec to come out from it’’s mothers” womb.
