Twitter embeds can break the layout in responsive bundled themes

[kovshenin]

Embedded tweets (via oembed) come with a fixed width of 550 pixels. This can cause the layout to break for Twenty Eleven and Twenty Twelve on narrow screens.

A fix for Twenty Twelve

The attached patches fix things for Twenty Eleven and Twenty Twelve via the max-width property, tested on an Android Nexus S and an iOS 5 simulator. Here's a screenshot:

Nice report and patch, thanks.

Does the rule really need the !important?

The selector is specific enough it shouldn't be necessary. (Also note there should be a space between the property's value and the important declaration.)

Replying to lancewillett:

Thanks Lance! Twitter embed places an inline style of "width:550px!important" to the div, as well as a "max-width:550px!important" with the .twitter-tweet-rendered selector in their embed stylesheet, so to have priority over that, I had to use !important and specify a parent class name, which is kinda hacky, but I couldn't think of anything cleaner.

Now with a space, yey!

Now with a space, yey-x2!
