Facebook's URL recognition when posting


aclab

Recommended Posts

I'm looking to integrate something similar to Facebook's URL recogntion (where you type the url and it automatically retrieves the meta content to show the title, address and description). Endless google searches haven't been helping as the words are too generic!

 

Any ideas or pointers on how to go about doing this? I'm thinking a some javascript to keep checking the content of the textarea to scan for www.something.com but I'm not sure how to get ajax to request the meta (also notice that facebook shows images too which is a nice touch)...

Any thoughts??x
