# jQuery URLive URLive is a jquery plugin that helps you create an preview snippet of a url based on the [**Open Graph**](http://ogp.me/) 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 `` 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)](https://developer.yahoo.com/yql/). ![jQuery URLive](http://i.imgur.com/CFhrAKm.png) ### Demo You can find the demo at [http://markserbol.github.io/urlive/](http://markserbol.github.io/urlive/). ### Getting Started Include the latest **jQuery library** together with `jquery.urlive.js` and `jquery.urlive.css` on your documents ``.
