Need help getting the widget to work in a Google Site

[Elizabeth Celuck]

Hello, I am hoping someone can help me to get the widget to work in a Google Site. Google Sites throws out js code, but there are workaround methods which I have implemented without issue for other js code content. I'm wondering if you have anyone currently using the widget in a Google  Site or if you can help me get it to work.

Method 1. I tried pasting the code into an HTML gadget that allows this type of code. I get this error:

I then tried hiding the code inside a Google Gadget and I have successfully implemented this method several times. Unfortunately, I just get an empty page where I place the call code.

This is a link to a website where I have tested these methods. 

Hoping someone can help! Thanks!

I'm not that familiar with how Google Sites gadgets work, but I put together a test and played with it, and it looks like it should work. Here's my test page

And the widget XML file generating it: http://learningregistry.org/lr-search-widget.xml

Then looking at your screenshot again I noticed that you're missing the <div> that's needed for the javascript to place content. Luckily we used a div and not an iframe, since Google Sites doesn't support iframes. 

Go back to your search widget embed code (https://search.learningregistry.net/) and make sure you grab the line that starts with <div class=lr-search-widget...

Let us know when it's up on your site. We'd really like to see the widget in action. If this looks like a viable way of using the widget, we could probably add an official widget with parameters so people could do this more easily (just supplying their API key and widget key).
