Widget Maker

Widget Maker is a construction tool for Yahoo! Widgets.

A form-filling interface is provided to assist in the generation of the XML script of a Widget. Users still have to create images and write the JavaScript code needed to provide the Widget's functionality.

    Widget Maker has a Help File - look in the context-menu. Widget Maker is not really suitable for complete beginners. It is probably a good idea for beginners to work through the Widget Tutorial first and then make one or two simple Widgets before trying to use Widget Maker. Widget Maker has a form-filling interface to assist in the generation of the XML script of a Widget's .kon file - it does not tell the user how to create a Widget.

    Yea, WTF?

    Pointless. Unless you know Java Script -- it's pretty much pointless. Do yourself a favor and don't bother with it. Junk.

    "A form-filling interface is provided to assist in the generation of the XML script of a Widget.

You cannot go around giving 1 star ratings before you know how something works, or not going any farther than expecting it to work for you.

    Merlin, you are the best darn Widget builder ever!

    If anybody but you had made a Widget-making Widget, well, I'd have been eager to see it, but I'd not have expected much. This has got to be one of the most potentially conceptually-challenging Widgets ever. So hats off to you for accepting the challenge.

    And don't you know that this is going to be one of the handiest darn Widgets ever.

    I also can't help but think that--knowing the kind of work you do, Merlin--in another coup More
