Question

I have been looking at a plug-in called TwitThis, but it is for tweeting the address/details of the page you are currently on.

What I am trying to achieve is the equivalent of this:

(obviously this is only conceptual, before anyone says ‘You can’t code like that you dolt!’)

<ul>
  <li>Short section of text <tweet button> </li>
  <repeat ad nauseum>
</ul>

Pressing the tweet button will tweet the content of that HTML tag

It’s a bit of a weird one, I know.

Answer 1

No JS Library is necessary. Use Twitter Intents.

HTML:

<ul>
    <li><span>some text</span><button>Tweet</button></li>
    <li><span>some other text</span><button>Tweet</button></li>
</ul>​

JavaScript:

$('button').click(function() {
    window.open("https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text="+$(this).parent().find('span').text());
});​
