Live Search Widget in asp.net pages
Is it possible to do a workaround for the live search widget, so it can be used on asp.net server pages? Our lead developer reported this to me when we asked him to add this widget:
10.46.29 Maciek: oh so here is the deal
10.46.32 Maciek: we use ASP.NET
10.47.25 Maciek: ASP.NET requires the whole page to be wrapped in a <form> element maintained by ASP.NET engine
10.48.03 Maciek: the widget is basically another form that becomes a nested form because of the global ASP.NET form
10.48.12 Maciek: browsers ignore nested forms
</form>

Audun, here's two possible workarounds.
1) Use the API and build your own custom form. Do a postback to your server and then make an HTTP request to:
http://api.getsatisfaction.com/compan...
That url will give you back an atom feed you can parse and present on your end.
2) Embed the widget in an iframe on your page.
I’m soooo glad I no longer work in crappy asp.net
The company and 3 other people say

Inappropriate?Scott, if I wanted to go for an iframe what would be the value of the src attribute for the content?
I’m confused

Check out http://getsatisfaction.com/widgets we have a new widget that uses an iframe -
Inappropriate?Actually if the widget code is placed outside of the ASP.NET form it works OK.
I’m glad it finally works otherwise it'd to much work to integrate that widget on the page.
