A basic example would be an horizontal slider that is used to enter a value between 0 and 10. This can't be done without any fancy "work-around" since the interaction with the slider only results in an internal value change and not in something like a server request as in the rating widget example.

XIN fetches entire xml/xhtml apps, with images, css, scripts and all, as a single unit and writes it into the page as part of it's dom on the fly, works in all browsers too, and both the images and css are forceloaded into the page. http://www.widgetplus.com is basically 'proof of concept' for this approach. These widgets can be fetched cross-domain and appear anywhere, being injected into blogs, etc, using a single js-link. There are no tricks, iframes or xmlhttp problems involved with this, and the apps are just plain dhtml apps with a server backend, so there's nothing complicated writing one.
