    I downloaded your files, edited the config.xml with my own Amazon webservice access code and some new ASINs.

    I get this error: Error: Cannot determine comparator for SortField with name ‘’salesRank” when loading the html.

    OK, I tried the widget with some different ASINs and I now it works. The ASINs I used previously perhaps did not cause amazon to return a sales rank.

    However, the titles returned are being cutoff. Are you using a DataGrid to display the results?

  3. Haha, I was just going to investigate the problem. No, I am actually using a TileList. Yes, the titles will get cutoff after the second line. I am not sure if I am going to fix that or not. It is nice having a fixed predictable height for each of the items. That way when you have an item that is very large, it won’t take up too much room on the widget.

    Good to note about what you mentioned previously. We need to add some error handling in the widget for that.
