Zillionz Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 What exactly is it for? I thought it was to allow you to run little scripts for gadgets, such as the one at the link below, on your site. But it turns out I can run them on my site anyways, and I'm on Stevie (which doesn't support the JAVA/JSP feature at the moment), and I didn't make any request for JSP to be enabled on my site. http://www.google.com/ig/directory?synd=open&url=http://hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/112581010116074801021/spider.xml You can see from my site that this little gadget is running on my 'about me' page at the following link... http://traditionalirishfood.heliohost.org/About%20me.html and you can also see that I have embedded a video from YouTube on the same page. Sorry, I know those items bear no significance to what my site is intended for, but I' just using them to experiment with what can and can't do on my site. So, I take it that I can include any of these gadgets/widgets from Google or other reputable sources, and embed videos on my page whenever I like? Can somebody give me a little guidance on this, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjoene Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 The spider and YouTube is in Flash and not in Java. JSP stands for JavaServer Pages. It is like ASP, but in Java. It allows you to make your website more dynamic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
