Self-updating home screen widget not possible?

[bau420]

I'm developing a WRT 1.1 home screen widget. How can I make this self-updating?

If the widget isn't enabled on the home screen I can run

window.widget.openURL(updatedata.url);
window.close();

and it works fine, but if the widget is enabled on the home screen the widget won't fully close and display: "Unable to remove. Application is in use."

Is there any way to go around this or fully kill the widget?

Thanks.

Hi bau420, as this can not be discussed publicly, I was trying to send a personal message to you, and if you want the answer, you could enable sending personal messages, and then PM me.

No I've tried that and it doesn't work, the phone still throws up the error message "Unable to remove. Application in use. Close it and try again."

Has anyone a solution to this problem?

I found this page(http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph..._a_new_version) that would solve it if you are only updating the JS code.

But this is not a good solution if you want to do changes in the design as all new images and stuff will have to be online as i understood it.
