How to get tweets from a user's account using JavaScript

I want to get the tweets by the people a user follows (i.e tweets on the user home page.) Is there any way to get them?

Here's a basic solution that might help you get started:

<ul id="tweets">
    <li>Loading tweets...</li>
</ul>

And in your JavaScript, assuming you have jQuery available:

var url = 'http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?callback=?'
        + '&screen_name=yourusername&count=4';

$.getJSON(
    url,
    function (data)
    {
        var $tweets = $('#tweets');
        $tweets.empty();
        if (data.length !== 0) {
            $.each(data, function (i, tweet)
            {
                if (tweet.text !== undefined) {
                    $tweets.append($('<li></li>', { text: tweet.text }));
                }
            });
        } else {
            $tweets.append($('<li></li>', { text: 'No recent tweets' }));
        }
    }
);

Do you mean something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/pborreli/pJgyu/?

It gets a number of tweets for a given user.
