Selecting Your Widget

Log in to your eCrater admin page and click the menu link for widgets. Select the size, shape, and whether you want an HTML/Javascript or Flash widget. Copy and paste the generated code onto the page where you want the widget displayed.

HTML/Javascript VS. Flash

Squidoo and Widgets eCrater widgets do not work on Squidoo. To display your products on Squidoo you need to use the RSS feeds from your shop. You can find out how to do this on the Using eCrater RSS Feeds lens.

HTML/Javascript Widget
The Javascript widget is the most stable of the the two widgets and works beautifully. It can be used on any site which allows javascript such as blogs and personal websites. Each product shown links to that product's page. The triangles at the ends scroll to a new set of products.

Flash Widget
The flash widget is brand new and still a bit buggy. It can be displayed on most sites where javascript is not allowed such as Myspace and Facebook.

Issues with Flash Widgets: Currently links inside the flash widgets do not work. They will display your products and prices but not link to the products.

I would suggest placing a link above or below the widget, a full size 486x60 banner or very large font size for the link would probably work best.
