Including twitter feed on livesite page

This is very basic html(html and javascript together) code from twitter. I am using on a page with basic embed HTML component, which is out of the box. It is not displaying the output. Is there any setting we have to do?

[html]Tweets by @TWITTER-ACCNT
<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script>[/html]

Thanks for the information. Any missing thing in this situation? The html is working on normal web site. Here also it is part of embedded HTML. so it should work as expected.

This has the capability of working just fine, so you must be doing something wrong but you haven't provided sufficient information for us to help. Any JS exceptions? Which view (edit/preview/runtime)? What's your complete component XSL? Are you on a network that might prevent the download of Twitter's JS API? What have you tried when debugging this so far?

Hi rpoulin, thanks for the reply. Not sure what is the mistake, I am new to livesite. Now I got the answer.

Initially I used out of box embed HTML. But now I created XSL component. It worked fine and no issue. While creating the component, it didn't show the feed output in the preview. But when I use the component on the page, yes, it displayed the feed with hard coded values.

Now I want to use variables for that. I have another question about the variable and quotations.

In the above code, I want to use variable for TwitterID by using Datum.

How can I use this XSL value inside the quotations of above Link Href? Please advise the best way. I found another way to use the attribute.

But the issue with this attribute method is I have to define 2 variables. One is for link(which also have twitter id) and one is for twitter id.

<xsl:attribute name='href'>
<xsl:text>https://twitter.com/</text>
<xsl:value-of select='/Properties/Data/Datum[@Name="Twitterid"]' />
</xsl:attribute>

<!-- OR -->

<a href="https://twitter.com/{/Properties/Data/Datum[@Name="Twitterid"]}">

<!-- OR -->

<xsl:variable name='twid' select='/Properties/Data/Datum[@Name="Twitterid"]' />
<a href="https://twitter.com/{$twid}">
