twitter widgets no longer working

anyone else having this problem? My twitter widgets worked up until the last time I checked. Now they show a blank page. The twitter widget page preview still works, but the code it generates doesn't. There's a lot of complaints on the twitter dev forum, but no responses at all from twitter that I can see. Anyone else had this problem and solved it?

This is my big hesitation using the Twitter RSS feed or Facebook RSS or any Facebook/Twitter feature that does not incorporate their API thru developer code. They are always updating and changing.... and they just assume web developers can and will edit their code and make it work. but what if it is packaged in a mobile app and stops working? I really wish they would offer more native integration on the mobile front with that iOS framework (and offer Android). after working with their framework to use the Tweetsheet in my app - seeing how simple that is to use, i'm pining for them to extend the mobie iOS functionality in the framework so i can use it and not widgets or RSS feeds.

its so odd that it still works in their preview page, but their code doesn't. I guess there must be something missing or that needs updating in their code but they've not bothered to update that. I'm checking and comparing their code against this page to see if I'm missing anything. If I solve it, I'll post here.

ok, I've got it working. It no longer works with the 'auto' width feature, and no longer works when embedded into BuzzTouch. This works: http://b143apps.com/twitter.html when I link to it in my app, it fits the page perfectly, and the twitter content scrolls nicely. It does not work when I copy/paste the code into an html page within BT. It used to work like this, and I wish it did now....one less server to worry about. Now it needs the BT server, my server and twitter, previously it only needed the BT server and twitter to be up.
