JQuery is simply great ! I’ve started learning jQuery just before two days and I’m very much impressed with its functions and simplicity. Especially when the ajax thing comes.

For developing my skills , I just completed making a simple Short URL system. I’ve managed to add five url shorter sites in this script.

This script will shorten the url that the user inputs and output the shortened url. I haven’t added a theme on this but you can add it if you are planning to use it.

Description

This consists of two files, index.html and api.php.

The jQuery part of the code is as follows

[javascript]
$(function() {
$(“#button”).click(function() {
var url = $(“#url”).val() ;
var provider = $(“#provider”).val() ;
args = “url=” + url + “&provider=” + provider ;
$(‘#short’).html(“Please wait..”);

$.ajax({
url: “api.php”,
data: args,
success: function(data) {
$(‘#short’).html(“” + data + ““);
}
});

});

});
[/javascript]
