Oops, the commenting system took out my and tags around that alert(document.cookie)

Also, I realized there's an XSS exploit in this. Is there a way to sanitize the "latest tweet" in our AJAX function before we post it?

Example:
alert(document.cookie) as a status won't get sanitized before the latest tweet is set as that. This is only a problem for the person setting the status, as the PHP script obviously sanitizes the status before putting it in the timeline.

Hey thanks for sharing - i want to use this for a personal project
but i have one question, if much users enters much messages the timeline gets a lil bit long :)
is there a "easy" way to break the timeline after (for example) 10 messages in 2 sites and then 3, 4, 5
hope you know what i mean :)

thanks!

@Steve,

How are you displaying usernames for the different people that post on your timeline? Are you using facebook api, or have you integrated your own login system? The latter is what I am attempting to do now and I need all the help i can get!

Kind Regards

James

Hey mate,

Thanks for the tutorial-- I have retrofitted most of the code in the back-end (plus fixed up the interface to make it look more like the current twitter interface) and thanks to you, I now have something that looks just like the real thing! :D

http://apps.facebook.com/mytwitteraccount/app_timeline.php <-- Too see how I've used it.

One thing I would like to see is perhaps how we can make that option of having something like "{num_of_tweets} new tweets. Click here to see them" all on the one page...

I know we can use jQuery for it, but I am fairly new to jQuery. If you can help me out by pointing me in the right direction, I would be very appreciative.

My email is augrunt@hotmail.com

Cheers,
Steve
