When I tried this using the syntax:

plist = new XMLHttpRequest();

plist.open("GET","version.plist",true);

my async listener reported a status != 200 with a statusText of undefined. The responseText was null, and the responseXML contained no nodes.

Are we sure you can use relative urls referencing files inside the wdgt bundle, or did I mess up on my syntax?

I would just let the user use Get Info.

If you feel you must have it, you can sue the XMLHttpRequest object to get
your info.plist and parse it. You can pass relative urls to XMLHttpRequest.

On the other hand you could hard code it in your HTML, and update the
version when you update your widget.

Thanks,
