I have the following code:
And for some reason, the widths I've indicated aren't translating onto the page-- the FB and Google+ buttons have a width of 90, and the twitter button has 110 width. Why is setting the width attribute not working, and besides that, why is it impossible to set the width of the Twitter button?
Thanks in advance!
<telerik:RadFacebookButton ButtonType="FacebookLike" Font="Verdana" ShowFaces="False" TitleToShare="The Conference Board of Canada" UrlToShare="http://www.conferenceboard.ca" Width="40" /><telerik:RadTwitterButton CounterMode="Horizontal" TitleToShare="The Conference Board of Canada" UrlToShare="http://www.conferenceboard.ca/" /><telerik:RadGoogleButton AnnotationType="Bubble" ButtonSize="Medium" TitleToShare="The Conference Board of Canada" UrlToShare="http://www.conferenceboard.ca/" Width="40" />And for some reason, the widths I've indicated aren't translating onto the page-- the FB and Google+ buttons have a width of 90, and the twitter button has 110 width.

Hi Dan,
Please examine this page on configuring the Standard buttons: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/radsocialshare-standard-buttons.html. There are several useful links in it on how exactly different properties affect them.
On the facebook buttons it is this one: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/. Note that the width of the ButtonCount type of button is at least 90px.
On twitter - it simply does not offer much customization options, only where the counter is placed (or if there shouldn't be a counter), so this is what we offer as well.
On GooglePlus - take a look at this page: https://developers.google.com/+/plugins/+1button/#button-sizes. The Width property is not defined for it (its cell contains "-"). Their rendering for this button is not something we can control and is also subject to change on their end without notice.
All the best,

Marin, thanks for the reply. I suspected that the problem would lie on their end since most of these buttons are usually loaded via scripts, but I just wanted to check. I guess we'll have to make do with what we're given for now.
