How to get my widget approved?
When trying to publish my widget I get this answer:
"This widget redirects user away from the page without any user interaction. This is not allowed for any widget submitted to our gallery, as people previewing the widget would leave Widgetbox."
Is it forbidden to open a new window using a html "get" form with target="_blank"? What's the point? If I have to stick to the 240x150 px, the application will be quite useless. I've seen other widgets that also leave Widgetbox, how did they manage that?

I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?You can open a new Window, but you cannot do it without user interaction. If a user clicks a link to open a new window, that's fine. From the message above, the widget opens a new window without that important click.

Inappropriate?Well, there is a click but it is on a button instead of a link. So sure there's user interaction. So my question still remains:how do other widgets do this? I've seen other widgets that also open a new window upon button-click.1 Comment

Clicking anything is user interaction. Post a link to your widget on Widgetbox please. -

Inappropriate?It looks like you got an incorrect rejection message. Sorry for that, but here's the real problem: your widget has no dynamic content. It's a box that kicks you off to your website.
Although you can't list this in our gallery, you can certainly use it all you like.
If you want to list it in the gallery, try returning your results within the widget and not kicking them off to another page.
