Description of the bug/feature.
==================================

PLEASE FILL OUT THE FOLLOWING FOR A BUG REPORT ONLY:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
======================================
1.Attempting to access the GGE on the Firefox web browser from the following 
URL: http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/legacy/gs.html#GGE

2. Attempting to access the GGE on the IE web browser from the following URL: 
http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/legacy/gs.html#GGE

3. Attempting to access the GGE on the Chrome web browser from the following 
URL: http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/legacy/gs.html#GGE

What is the expected output?
============================
Google Gadgets Editor is displayed and working properly (i.e. editable, save 
functions, etc)

What is the actual output?
==========================
There is a blank space on the page where I would expect to see the GGE

Which browsers have you experienced this on?
============================================
Firefox, Chrome, and IE

Which operating systems have you experienced this on?
=====================================================
Windows XP SP3

Please provide any additional information below.

GGE was working fine before, but for no apparent reason it started behaving as 
described above. I also have Firebug installed and when I try to access the 
GGE, I get the following errors:

"MessageCatalog is not defined
    catalog: new MessageCatalog(), "

It references line 1089 in the script that is embedded on this page

So far I've been unable to reproduce. I've tried Firefox, Internet Explorer and 
Google Chrome on Windows XP SP3 and Chrome & Firefox on Linux. 

Do you get the same behavior if you're not logged in?

I get this behavior both when I'm logged in and not logged in. I rebooted  
my computer earlier today and that seemed to "fix" things, but I know there  
is some other underlying problem. Reason being, after I rebooted, the GGE  
worked on IE, but not on Firefox or Chrome. After repeated attempts to use  
it on Chrome and Firefox as well as multiple refreshes, the editor is  
working. However, it is very buggy in that it is not saving my changes. I  
have to constantly delete my xml files and then re-create them, THEN  
publish them before I see any changes. If I make any changes on the fly and  
the click on File-->Save under the GGE, it only retains those changes about  
50% of the time. Something is truly wrong.

If you're building a complex gadget I highly recommend using one of the other 
methods for hosting your gadget as described at 
http://code.google.com/apis/igoogle/docs/igoogledevguide.html#gadgethosting . 

Do you have this problem only with one gadget or is it with all gadgets? 

Do you get the same error message from the IE script debugger and Web Inspector 
in Chrome as you do from Firebug?

Rebooting should not make a difference to the page you're visiting unless 
there's an interaction between some other software on your computer and the 
content getting to the browser. Since you've tried a variety of browsers, this 
seems unlikely.

I do have this issue with all gadgets, including the ones provided as  
samples. I did get this same error on the IE script debugger. I haven't  
used Web Inspector on Chrome. As for the reboot, I performed that for the  
very reason you stated. I thought there might be some other underlying  
software interaction going on that I might not have been aware of. I'll try  
hosting my gadget in another fashion as you suggested.
