I've been struggling with this and can't find a single tutorial on what seems to be a very simple idea. I've written to the settings in the settings.html file using: System.Gadget.Settings.writeString("Date1", month + "-" + day + "-" + year); And that seems to have worked. It displays properly in the settings. Now, in the main file,...

It seems that when thi...

I have an HTML list that can be sorted (using jQuery's sortable API). I am storing the list items inside a database; each row stores the item's order, and text.
