Using HTML in TEXT widget in the Homepage Sidebar

[beoleary]

I have been unable to resize a MediaRoll player in the TEXT widget that I have placed in the Homepage Sidebar. I have contacted the designer of MediaRoll and in the following code I can resize, but for whatever reason the TEXT widget is constraining what I can do as far as resizing. Any changes I make to size do not show as changes to my Sidebar. At first I thought the size of the widget was the problem, which I just expanded, but still there is something else going on...and ideas if this is an issue with the Sidebar or perhaps a problem with the HTML code.

..many thanks
