I was playing around with Apple's Dashcode widget development tool. It's really neat. But one thing almost drove me nuts: XMLHttpRequest. I tried to pull the episode listings of a given show from epguides.com.
I got back a readyState of 4 but the request.status was always undefined.
Well, the solution to the problem is easy: You have to allow the widget to access the network. Just check the appropriate checkbox in the "Widget Attributes" section. D'oh!
