Question

I want to display some text on twitter/facebook when a link is clicked on my website. Is there a way in jQuery to do that?

Answer 1

if it’s another user posting a message on your own facebook/twitter account, you’ll have to store your password on the client side (javascript).
That sounds like a bad idea to me, so you’ll have to make it server-side.

So what you’ll need is :

• somebody clicks a link on your website
• with jQuery, you call a php script which is hosted on your own server
• that php script posts a message to the twitter/facebook accounts (seems to be pretty difficult, try to find a ready-to-use script.

This way, you can also control the content of the message.

Good luck 😉
