Are these games full blown websites or plug-in style widgets? I am new to AJAX, but my understanding of it is that you mainly use it to create widgets that can run on top of other applications or "mash-up" different applications. If anyone could clarify I would greatly appreciate it. - Carver I am a little confused. Are these games full blown websites or plug-in style widgets?
