| Web Gadgets A Web Gadget is a portable chunk of code that can be installed and executed within any separate HTML-based web page by an end user. Other terms used to describe a web widget include gadget, badge, module, capsule, snippet, mini and flake. Web widgets are often but not always built using DHTML, Adobe Flash, or JavaScript.

| Desktop Gadgets A Desktop Gadget is a downloadable computer desktop accessory that provides easy access to frequently used functions and provides access to services such as the latest news or current weather such as the example in Figure 5. Most Desktop Gadgets can be created with standard XML, JavaScript or VBScript depending upon their complexity. A Desktop gadget provides relevant information to the user in a non-intrusive manner. Desktop gadgets blur the line between the web and the desktop by pulling content out of the browser and integrating it into the desktop and are becoming increasingly popular with both business users and consumers.
