Great tip! I assume there is a similar process where the output is a simple hyperlink?

Ohhh I get it. Duh. I’m a JS Bin newbie apparently.

Neither of the above links to JSBin link to any specific bit of code as far as I can tell.

Try this slightly tweaked version instead: http://jsbin.com/afezu/edit

Great post – thanks for the idea. I’d suggest two modifications, though. First, only output that code if something exists in those post_meta fields. Second, use the embed code now that IE doesn’t require JS Flash insertion so as to make the page slightly lighter-weight and load faster. Find my modified code here: http://jsbin.com/uzemo/edit

AdBlock disables all kinds of stuff it shouldn’t, even when disabled. AdBlock Plus fixes most of those issues but still, what do you expect when you’re runnign software that’s actively blocking flash content?

It is, see the second line of the javascript:

amzn_wdgt.tag='css-tricks-20';

If using amazon I would like to at least see the affiliate id in there ;)

I noticed that the widget does not show up if I have AdBlock enabled. I’m not sure if there is any way to fix this other than just telling your users to disable adblock for the particular site.
