Where's Google Docs? I couldn't find a post notifying of an issue. And when I tried to hack the script myself it didn't show up. I know I'm missing something as to I'm still such a beginner at this type of coding.

For an update... I found another area I had missed that needed documents added to it. Now it loads, shows for a second, and switches from gmail to docs. Ooops.... I'm still guessing that it can be done; I'm just not holding my tongue right.

Anyway, I think I'll move on for the night and let the Master add this. Maybe. ;)

Thanks for the code. It's nice to have my mail, reader, and calendar together.

Well... I couldn't resist and got it to work. Almost. It displays to box, but has a nice little "Sorry, the page (or document) you have requested does not exist.

Please check the address and try again."

I know that I've hit my end, since I have no idea as to what to put after:

https://docs.google.com/tab=mo

I had a "?" to get it to display, but that's not it. It needs something more or different.
I did save my code off to the side to learn from once this feature has been added, if it can work correctly.

Thanks,

Hi Madcadder,

Unfortunately, here is the problem. Google Docs (and other other google services such as Orkut) have code that detects if they are loaded in as a subpage of another page and if so force it to take over the whole window. The firefox developers (rightly so for various reasons) have coded the browser to respect such requests, for example one cannot embed say a CNN article and take claim to it as theirs now. I have not quite working on this problem, as there may be a way to do it from a browser permission stand point but haven't worked it out yet.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you for the reply. I thought I followed the theme of the code correctly. Glad to see I was on the right road heading into the brick wall. I hope this works out. Docs would be a nice addition.

Thanks,
MC
