i am embedding the profile widget on certain pages of my website, and i am a bit frustrated with the synchronous nature of the embed code. as you all probably know, it goes something like this:
<script charset="utf-8" src="http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js"></script>
<script>
new TWTR.Widget({
version: 2,
type: 'profile',
rpp: 4,
interval: 30000,
width: 100,
height: ff0000,
theme: {
shell: {
background: '255',
color: '0'
},
tweets: {
background: '0',
color: '0',
links: '100'
}
},
features: {
scrollbar: true,
loop: false,
live: false,
behavior: 'default'
}
}).render().setUser('ff0000').start();
</script>
so the js file loads synchronously, then the widget is rendered at that position in the html file. if i could nominate the div under which the widget is to be created then i could load the js asynchronously and render when appropriate. this would probably require a parameter to the render() method of TWTR.Widget, maybe the id of a dom element, of the dome element itself.
is this possible already, or is it a missing feature?
these widgets should really be inside iframes, like most embeds are done these days…
cheers
