We are loading a Twitter widget on our page along with SlideShowPro. At least in IE8, the videos are not loading when the Twitter widget is present. When I remove the Twitter widget, the video loads fine. How do you get SSP to work alongside a Twitter widget? I'm assuming it has something to do with the Javascript that the Twitter widget uses...

Hmm…interesting. Does the twitter widget use swfobject, or some other kind of javascript class to embed it? I'm assuming the widget is Flash based. There could very well be a conflict between the two libraries.

The Twitter widget uses a .js file. Here's the code it uses:

Code:

<div id="twtr-profile-widget"></div>
<script src="http://widgets.twimg.com/j/1/widget.js"></script>
<link href="http://widgets.twimg.com/j/1/widget.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
<script>
new TWTR.Widget({
  profile: true,
  id: 'twtr-profile-widget',
  loop: true,
  width: 220,
  height: 250,
  theme: {
    shell: {
      background: '#3082af',
      color: '#ffffff'
    },
    tweets: {
      background: '#ffffff',
      color: '#444444',
      links: '#1985b5'
    }
  }
}).render().setProfile('twitter_username').start();
</script>

Could this have something to do with SSP not being called onLoad? Maybe the Twitter widget is being called onLoad and SSP gets "forgotten"? Just trying to think of possibilities...

Yeah, I honestly don't know. You may just need to plumb around in that javascript to see if you can find the conflict.
