I have a XSL website up a running. It is hosted on our server and clients are able to log in and use with no issues over the internet.

It is a simple database that is used for inventory and shipment tracking.

I am at a complete loss for how to offer clients a dashboard widget for them to look up this info. I have looked at the filemaker widget but I might as well be looking at san script. Any thoughts, help, direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The idea is to use the XMLHTTPRequest object, as Ajax programmers also do.

Look at the RSS example widget

on the Apple Developer Dashboard examples website.

We have made a widget that does what you want. You can download from our site http://www.cordistechnologies.com and try and adapt the code for your own purposes if you like. Haven't seen much done with Widgets and Filemaker yet, but suspect it will achieve some popularity.. especially with Microsoft Gadgets on the way... one day ;)
