Vertical News Bar status links not wrapping in IE8 [FIX]

2009-11-27T11:58:41Z

The Vertical News Bar Wizard does not produce usable code in IE8 due
to this (or a similar) IE8 bug which Microsoft doesn't plan to fix.

I'd really like to do this too. Setting the gl and lr flags just
doesn't cut it :-(

Re: Feed Control ellipses

By default, the Feeds API parses out a snippet of about 120 characters
in length. To change the length of this snippet, you will have to get
the feed in mixed format and then parse your own snippet out of each
entry's content tag. Beware, though, that the tag will vary depending
on the format of the feed.

I think you will have to create your own control, but it's really not
all that difficult if you know some basic Javascript and DOM
manipulation. Check out the Maps API documentation for ideas:

Check out the LocalSearch functionality of the Google AJAX Search API.
It's going to be the closest thing that Google offers to what you're
looking for.

Re: CustomSearchControl - ads never shows at first time page loads

2009-11-25T21:49:03Z

Adding a delay to execute("...") appears to work around this problem.
Though obviously this trick makes the query slower and it's not
reliable as it depends on how quickly the user can load the page.

Example:

google.load('search', '1', {language : 'en'});
google.setOnLoadCallback(funct ion () {

Documentation feedback and suggestions

2009-11-25T19:12:56Z

Hi all,

I'm a tech writer for code.google.com. I'm getting ready to do an
overhaul of all of the documentation for Google's Ajax APIs.

I already have some thoughts about what can be improved, but I hope
you will have some ideas as well and can help drive the future
direction of the documentation. So if you have a minute, can you

Web Search in Your Country - "Country Only"

2009-11-25T08:26:36Z

It's great that you can now search based on a particular domain, but
how can you restrict results to that country's pages *only*?

For example, if I go to google.com.au and do a search, it tailors the
results to favour Australia content.

However, there is a radio button on the homepage captioned "pages from

Paid iPhone Application

2009-11-25T04:10:13Z

Hi!

I've been trying to determine the permissibility of publishing a paid
iPhone application which uses results from the Google AJAX Search API
in a complimentary way to more primary content.

As previously said, the application could not be used until purchased.
However, once purchased, further usage is free.
