I keep both a tumblelog and a WordPress blog, and would like to use the javascript code that Tumblr <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/extras">provides</a> to display my tumblelog posts in the sidebar of the blog. Trouble is, when I paste the script into a text sidebar widget, all photos and embedded videos are not resized according to its width, making the thing look stupid and disappear off to the right.<br> <br> Is there any way that I can adjust this, perhaps using CSS? Or, if not, is there any alternative way I could get my Tumblr posts displayed nicely in my WordPress sidebar? My web coding skills are far too inadequate (i.e. non-existent) to have been able to accomplish this myself. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.76721 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 12:33:07 -0800 blogging sidebar tumblr webdesign widget wordpress chorltonmeateater http://ask.metafilter.com/62348/Can%2DJavascript%2Drecognize%2Da%2DCSS%2Dwidth CSS/JSP/Javascript Filter: I'm creating a widget which parses RSS via JSP and Javascript. This widget will allow users to include an RSS feed in their sidebar, but I'd like the widget to appear differently depending on the sidebar size. Is this possible to create an if statement determinant on the sidebar css class/id without know the class/id names? I have my widget width set to 100%, so it will inherit the width of the class in which it's placed. However, if a user has a sidebar smaller than a certain width, I'd like to show an alternate view. The widget shows an image floating on the left, then headline and short description of a story to the right of the image. If the width of the sidebar is smaller than my min-width, I'd like the headline and description to move under the photo rather than to the right. Can I create an if statement which will recognize the inherited width without knowing the class/id name? Is this possible? <br> <br> The feed is parsed via JSP and is displayed via a Javascript include.<br> <br> Thanks for any ideas. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.62348 Thu, 10 May 2007 12:51:06 -0800 css javascript jsp sidebar widget captaindistracto
