Hello,
my first thought was a work around, you can get a free website server and just use it for hosting the actual widget files, this would automatically bypass any issues you 'might' have with your own server, since now you just simply place the embed code of the widget from the other site. My own website consists of about 5 different websites summarized on one page of widgets. there are a ton of really good free website hosts you can use for this that have no ads.
the next thing that came to mind, was my own first experience with making self hosting widgets .... ultimately I made one folder called "widgets" and then sub folders based on the different widgets I create.
ie
host/widgets/welcomewidget/
host/widgets/mainbodywidget/
other than that, It's hard to say what it could be, I do know that some sites restrict certain files , and that restriction could render your widget inactive if the host itself disables an important file thats needed by the widget to function correctly, for example the site I use does not allow the .iwidget files, but lucky for me the widgets do not need those files to function.
Anyways, my 2 cents, I hope it helps.
Cheers,
Ricky
one more thing, go to your control panel, click on the java panel, then under "temporary internet settings" select "settings" then delete files , this will clear your java cache which is separate from your internet explorer cache , just in case something got messy there .... another good thing to do is use a freeware program called cccleaner , it will help delete any files that the IE explorer did not erase, which does happens at times especially when files get damaged / corrupted.
