    <p>I'd like my gadget to have two different views: One when it's just been added, to let the user enter some information, and, once he's done with that, another which displays some data based on that information.</p> <p>The earliest point at which I can decide which of those two views I have to display is when I get the state for the first time, i.e. in the state callback. When I change the UI there, however, it does not always show - apparently there are some timing issues involved. Sometimes the UI doesn't show up at all, sometimes it shows up ok, sometimes it shows up in front of the Gadget-loading animation.</p> <p>Here's a simple test case:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?&gt; &lt;Module&gt; &lt;ModulePrefs title="Trivial" height="120"&gt; &lt;Require feature="wave" /&gt; &lt;/ModulePrefs&gt; &lt;Content type="html"&gt; &lt;![CDATA[ &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; function createForm () { document.write("&lt;div id=\"form\"&gt;"); document.write("Username: &lt;input type=text value=\"whatever\" id=\"user_name\"&gt;"); document.write("&lt;input type=button value=\"Go!\" onClick=\"fetchFromUsername()\"&gt;&lt;br&gt;"); document.write("NSID: &lt;input type=text value=\"287312604@N00\" id=\"user_id\"&gt;"); document.write("&lt;input type=button value=\"Go!\" onClick=\"fetchFromNSID()\"&gt;&lt;br&gt;"); document.write("Number of photos: &lt;input type=text value=\"3\" id=\"per_page\"&gt;"); document.write("&lt;/div&gt;"); } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; function stateUpdated () { createForm (); } function init() { if (wave &amp;&amp; wave.isInWaveContainer()) { wave.setStateCallback (stateUpdated); } } gadgets.util.registerOnLoadHandler(init); &lt;/script&gt; ]]&gt; &lt;/Content&gt; &lt;/Module&gt; </code></pre>

    2. COThere is no other view. What I'm trying to accomplish with this code is to modify the UI dynamically once the Gadget is loaded. If I can do that, I can make either one or the other view appear. But even this simple test case doesn't work reliably.

    3. COI have developed for Wave yet. The problem could lie in document.write. Can you create your elements via document.createElement("element") then append them to their container? This might fix your timing issues.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
