Many people still have js disabled. The script doesn't work when javascript is disabled.

People who disable javascript are used to not having many things. IE is as far as I will cater to.

How would I do that? I am not a javascript guru by any means.

- Usability: No mention of what should be entered in the input field (a valid URL?)
- Usability: No visual cue upon submitting the AJAX request -- only when response is received.
- Why use META refresh rather than appropriate HTTP headers?
- Hard-coded to 'shorten' google link, not the value input into the form.
- Why not unobtrusively apply the JavaScript rather than hard-coding it into the form opening tag? (Look into window.onload, or even better when the DOM is ready)
Sorry for so many, especially since they're all pretty minor points in the grand scheme of things.

It takes a split second to process, but il do it.
- Why use META refresh rather than appropriate HTTP headers?

What? Im not using any refresh.
- Hard-coded to 'shorten' google link, not the value input into the form.

Oops, I put that in during debugging, fixed.

Not sure how to do what you are talking about.

Unless you really want to learn all the intricacies of the different implementations of the ecmascript, I suggest you just use jquery.

Any idea why?
