building Google modules

Hello,
everyone who is using the custom start page of google knows them: the modules, you can add your gmail box there, games or just a rss feed. There are already a lot of modules, but do you ever build one by yourself?

It's not so hard if you know to play with some javascript.

Today I build one with the use of some simple XML parsing, the script works well in HTML but it doesn't work as a module. Next I learned to use some google-javascript function: first it works fine but then it was over: some cache problem or whatever. At last I used the most simple way: just linking a file on my own server inside some kind of Iframe.

That was the most stable result!

Maybe you tried already to build a module or you start after reading this... just share your experience here.

To be honest I don't have a clue about this.

Where can I get some introduction about them?

Wow, thanks. I will check those later (right now I try to see my emails using telnet as my connection is still at 3kb/sec....) and I will post my thoughts.
