The TabView control, which allows you to put a standardized set of tabs within your widget, had been documented since day one, back in 2007. But that documentation was somewhat inprecise and lacking details, to say the least.
While its documentation has been severly improved since then (let us know if you consider it could still [...]
We recently stumbled upon an interesting part of web application : making a Flash object communicating with its containing HTML page’s JavaScript functions. This is not unheard of, of course, but in the world of UWA, this can prove difficult to implement in a working way.
A reminder: JavaScript in UWA

Netvibes users were long used to using the Feed Reader widget which, combined with the internal full-page feed reader, makes for the greatness of Netvibes as a feed agregator, and from there on, as a complete digital dashboard.
Back in December 2008, we updated our Feed Reader widget with three new views (Ticker, Carousel, Magazine) ; [...]

2008 has been a good year: we’ve released some very cool stuffs, added some functionalities to the API, and made [...]
We’ve long said, and proved, that UWA works on all major widget platforms – you know the drill: Netvibes, Apple Dashboard, iGoogle, Opera, Vista, Live.com… But there is one more that deserves to be as well known: blog export.
The ability to work on blogs, and for that matter on any website, has always been part [...]
You might not have noticed it, but in addition to completely revamping our Ecosystem (you didn’t know? check it out!), we’ve been silently adding new functionalities here and there, for developers to play with.
One of these “toys” is the expanded Timeline Search. As a Netvibes user, you must know about the User Timeline, where a [...]
On this blog, we’ve been steadily giving you advices about content and code, two of the main aspects of what makes a good widget in our opinion: content, because a widget is nothing without it ; and code, because that’s what UWA gets its flexibility and portability from.
It was all content and code, until now: [...]
It’s been a few days since our cool Developers Meetup in Paris, where we announced a bunch of new releases that are of importance mostly to you, dear developers!
