Hi folks,

I have a little script that pulls down my twitter feed into a ul

The only problem is that the links in the text are just text rather than hyper links.

How can I loop through the content and change each http://www.something.com into proper

<a href="http://www.something.com>http://www.something.com</a&gt;

I'm fairly new to JS so please be gentle with me.

Thanks.

Hi All,

In case it helps here is the code so far.


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<title>JQuery get tweets</title>
		<style>
			
		</style>
		<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js&quot; type="text/javascript"></script>
		<script>
			$(document).ready(function(){
				
	
						
				var params = $("#tweets").attr("rel");
				params = params.split("|");
				username = params[0];
				count = params[1];
				var format='json';
				var url='http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/'+username+'.'+format+'?callback=?';
				$.getJSON(url,function(tweet){ 
					var tweets='<ul>';
					for (i=0;i<=count;i++){
						tweets+= "<li>" + (tweet[i].text) + "</li>";
					}	
					tweets+= "</ul>";				
					
					var start = tweets.indexOf("http");
					var end = tweets.indexOf(" ", start);
					var len = end - start;
					var link = tweets.substr(start,len)
					console.log(start + " " + end + " " + link);	
					
					$("#tweets").html(tweets);
				});
			});
		</script>
		
	</head>
	<body>

Here are a couple scripts when used together publish tweets to a website:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"></script&gt;
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/USERNAME.json?callback=twitterCallback2&amp;count=NUMBER_TO_SHOW"></script&gt;

Place the folowing where you want the list to be displayed and style it with some css.

<ul id="twitter_update_list"></ul>
