This page contains technical information for webmasters who want to put two types of widgets to track public whip counts.

Universal Widget

This widget displays all the public whip counts that we are conducting on the Act on Principles website (with Act On Principles logo). See it at the bottom of the left sidebar of this page. Your visitors can choose the public whip count that they want to check via a drop down menu at the top of the widget. The widget links to the appropriate page in ActOnPrinciples.org where the details of each public whip count are available, such as sponsors, yes, leaning yes, neutral, leaning no, no, and unknown positions of each member of Congress if known.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING THE UNIVERSAL WHIP COUNT WIDGET ON YOUR WEBSITE

Cut and paste the code below to place the Universal Widget in your website.

Dedicated Widget

This widget tracks only a specific whip count for a specific piece of LGBT legislation. It is appropriate for websites and postings focused on one bill only. Below is an example of a dedicated widget for ENDA in the US House of Representatives.  There is no title for the widget, however it does link to the relevant page on Act On Principles:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING DEDICATED WHIP COUNT WIDGETS ON YOUR WEBSITE

• Dedicated Whip Count Widgets address specific pieces of LGBT legislation.
• You can place several dedicated widgets on your website.
• If you put more than one widget on the same page, it might be that only one will display—this depends entirely on your software. So you need to try it.

Cut and paste the code below to place each dedicated widget. Note the line 33|175:125. The first number (33) represents the code for each whip count; the second number (175) is the width of the widget and the third number (125) is its length. Modify them as appropriate. Please replace the code (33) for a whip count by the following number:

• 36 for DOMA repeal in the House
• 33 for ENDA in the House
• 30 for ENDA in the Senate
• 35 for DADT in the House
• 37 for UAFA in the House
• 38 for UAFA in the Senate
• 39 for DPBO in the House
• 40 for DPBO in the Senate
• 42 for ECDF (Every Child Deserves a Family Act) in the House
• 43 for RFA (Reuniting Families Act)
• 59 for Safe Schools Act in House
• 65 for Student Non-Discrimination Act in House
• 63 for REAL (Responsible Education about Life) in House
• 45 for REAL (Responsible Education About Life) in Senate
• 56 for Early Treatment for HIV Act (ETHA) in House
• 51 for Early Treatment for HIV Act (ETHA) in Senate
• 57 for Health Disparities in House
• 61 for Health Equality in the House
• 60 for Health Tax in Hosue
• 49 for Health Tax in the Senate
• 64 for Credit Discrimination in House

Modify the link below to point to the proper page on our site where your visitors can view and participate on the specific whip count. Such a link is required as a condition for you to use our widget.
