Mobile development process advice
Generally, we recommend that you develop your widget on desktop, test your widget in the Widget Emulator, and test on the phone when you're done.( Read the article )
I am not sure what I might be doing wrong but I am trying to use my already live widget on my mobile phone.
Opera 8.65 for Windows Mobile (8124)
Widget: http://widgets.opera.com/widget/6945/
But I am getting a message saying that my browser does not support widgets.
Any help highly appreciated...
Thanks and regards,
Aditya

The article says: "Tip: Click, drag and reload
You don’t need to package your widget to be able to see how it works. On desktop, you can simply click and drag the config.xml of your widget to an Opera window and the widget will start. ..."
When I drag the config.xml to the Opera browser I see the xml representation of it and not the widget! I think the correct thing is to drag the index.html to the browser - correct?

Nope - it _should_ be config.xml. If you drag index.html into the browser you just get the widget running as a standard web page, which isn't right either. This tip used to work, but I've just checked, and it doesn't seem to now. Maybe it no longer works after the Widget Manager started being used to handle widgets? I'm assuming your running a pretty recent build of Opera that includes this?
I am going to remove that tip from the article for now.
