As for submitting without JS, just set the action of the form to the PHP page that shortens the URL. Then, in the onsubmit handler of the form, put 'return false'. The onsubmit handler will only fire in a javascript-enabled browser, meaning it'll run AJAX with JS and submit the form normally without.

Nice job so far though

Looks good, make it look nicer but so far great job

Made my url longer Otherwise, it's working fine.

I might suggest checking your database to see if a URI has already been entered. If so, just return that link instead of whipping up a new one. Next, some sort of randomly-generated link ID might be good, as right now, I can just go back through every link that people have submitted by decrementing the ID number.

Also, you already know about validation. Cool tool.

Shows error, i use FF.

Um yeah, that would happen, its a 404. The script isnt up anymore, this thread is really old.

Anyhow Village, just a tip, as you asked for it.

You can observe certain things from certain elements, and do things with them.
