Chinese characters and others

Hi all. I am new to this and I am doing on a widget which shows tweets of a particular twitter which has a mixture of english and chinese tweets. I have used the RSS Feed Example in Widget Realm and encountered several problems. Is there a way to show chinese characters? May I know why the tweets shown in my widget are shown in a straight line instead of a paragraph when it is too long, which means when the tweet is very long, I only can see a part of it.

  • No sure on the Chinese Characters.

    For the multiple line text, set the "wrap" style property.

    CODE
    new KONtx.element.Text({label:"Single Line",styles:{/*Styles Values*/}});

    new KONtx.element.Text({label:"Mutiple Line",styles:{width: 294, wrap:true, /*Styles Values*/}});

    It's a font issue. The wdk and the tvs don't have the necessary fonts to display non-latin characters, unfortunately.

    As was said, use the wrap property. Though it will be honored outside of the styles object, I put it inside with my other css styles.

    I'm afraid I don't understand your question.

    Sorry, I meant can I have a "Facebook Share function" on information feeds in widgets?

    Yes. You'll have to get a developer key from them and start digging into their APIs. I've never done it myself.

  • window.open("http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http://www.yahoo.com");

    I have this code with me that works in javascript in HTML but does not work in the javascript code for my button.

    this.controls['button'] = new KONtx.control.TextButton({
    label: 'Share to Facebook',
    styles: $content.styles.main.button, //Style information for the Button stored in our 960x540.js file
    events:{
    //Setup a onSelect Event to handle the button action
    onSelect:function(event){
    window.open("http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http://www.yahoo.com");
    }
    }
    }).appendTo(this);

    Is there any problem with my code?
