jQuery URLive
URLive is a jquery plugin that helps you create an preview snippet of a url based on the Open Graph properties of the page, similar to a url preview in a facebook post.
The plugin works with any element that has a url content or value, even on <a> tag with href. It is lightweight and doesn't require any back-end code as data scraping is done asynchronously with AJAX using the Yahoo Query Language (YQL).
Demo
You can find the demo at http://markserbol.github.io/urlive/.
Getting Started
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 the snippet preview. And pass the selector of the element that will contain the preview.
$('selector').urlive({ container: '.urlive-container' });You can find the in-depth documentation in the wiki https://github.com/markserbol/urlive/wiki.
