Related to: [To-do List with Google Maps]
Few had informed me that To-Do List gadget all of a sudden stopped working. Google had stopped supporting inlining feature (which the gadget uses) but assured that the existing gadgets should not be affected. Unfortunately, it has affected To-do List gadget for few users. It is unfortunately beyond my control.
The good news is - ALL YOUR DATA IS SAFE within the gadget itself. so DONOT PANIC. and DONOT delete the gadget. If you delete it, then you will lose ALL your data.
I have outlined the steps on how to retrieve your data very easily and use other alternative gadgets I have developed.
- Assuming you had entered your todo and it looked previously like below:
- With this issue, the gadget should look like below:
- Right click on this gadget and say “View Source”. It should open a notepad with a lot of contents.
- Search for “screeperzone” and around that text, you should see a lot of “%22″ wherein you will see your todo lists. Unfortunately it is a little messy to extract one by one.
- I have other alternatives for the same todo list gadget - including for Vista and Netvibes. Please visit this link for the alternatives.

Hi, I followed the instructions, but didn’t see a bunch of ” as it showed in step 4.
I didn’t delete the gadget, but I had re-arranged my igoogle homepage. Do you suppose that would have messed it up?
Oops, cancel that order! I now see that the text stretches out endlessly to the right…..and there are all the ” and my tasks.
Thanks!
I did this and all the other gadgets content showed up in all the computer jumbo, but not the to do list. Any suggestions?
I found it
Data is gone, no “inlineing” error message…just blank. No info in source code. Went on vacation and came back to a blank page.
hmm.. not sure what’s happening. normally it should be an inlining error. I will look into it.
