Green spirals when loading widgets on a web page.
« on: January 13, 2009, 08:38:02 AM »
I thought this may be a worthwhile thread. Could someone please describe the meaning of green spirals when widgets are loading? What if the spirals never go away?

My take is that the java has loaded and sent a request for data from ioBridge and is waiting for a response. As long as there is no response, the green spirals continue. Any truth to that? Does it go any deeper than that? If this continues, what are the troubleshooting steps?

The green spirals are an indication that the widget has created its space on the page and has contacted the server for more information (like button status and label).

There are two ways to cause a widget not to load:

If there is no network connectivity when you loaded the page and the JavaScript came out of cache.

If you do not have a complete HTML document surrounding the widgets (affects Safari and Chrome). You must put the widgets in the body of an HTML document and have to have at least the following structure:

<html>
<head>
<title>ioBridge Widgets</title>
</head>
<body>
(((Drop widget embed tags here)))
</body>
</html>

There are ways around having an HTML structure, but this procedure is the most compliant against all modern browsers - Chrome, Safari, Pogo, Firefox, Opera, and Internet Explorer (5/6/7 and IE 8).

Let me know if this answers your questions.
