jQuery URLive lets you easily create a live preview of any url base on its Open Graph properties and other details, similar to Facebook's post attachment.
It doesn't only work on a <textarea>
or <input>
it also works on <a>
tag and any other element with a URL on its content.
Include the latest jQuery library together with jquery.urlive.js
and jquery.urlive.css
on your documents <head>
.
After files inclusion, call urlive()
function on the element with the URL you want to show a preview. And pass the selector of the element that will contain the preview.
$(selector).urlive({ container: '.urlive-container' });
Tested on all modern browsers – Chrome, Firefox, Safari, also IE.
