Im doin a google gadget and having prob with my _gel
this is a tic toe game
firstly (i put in comment) is that i cant get the status
second is i want to get the y value of my label name( my labels for playin are labeled as b0_0 b0_1 as so forth)
the sdk says object expected

How is the _gel function defined?

[1051109210]

i var val0 earlier then val0=_gel.........

[acoder]

I can see that, but can you post the code for it.

[1051109210]

huh sorry i dont quite understn

[acoder]

You've posted the code for the checkWin function, but some of the statements use a _gel function. Can you post the code for that too?

[1051109210]

Oh sorry I found out my prob. The method document.getElementsById() is specific to DOM interaction in the browser. Google Desktop does not support these DOM calls.
Thank you for your concern in lookin into this though!
cheers!

Thanks for that information. I would assume that was in the _gel() function. Just to point out that it's document.getElementById() (with no "s").

Finally, as a matter of interest, what's the alternative for Google Desktop?

[1051109210]

Hahah i did it the very simple way ....novice way by calling the elements one by one... not actually overcomin the document/_gel way but i got my work done

[acoder]

Thanks. You never know who and how many it may help.
