Twitter link gags preview

Post by reacher »

Using latest build of WeBuilder 2014: adding a twitter link (enclosed) causes major hanging when trying to preview.

Code: Select all

<a href="https://twitter.com/XXXXXXX" class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false">Follow @XXXXXXX</a>
<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script>
Cheers

The delay in preview is caused by this line: js.src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"

Change it to either js.src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" or js.src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" and the problem will go away. The reason for this is the fact that preview is displayed from local filesystem not web server so the browser is actually looking for //platform.twitter.com/widgets.js on your filesystem, probably trying to create a local network connection to non-existing location, which causes the delay.
