# timeago: a jQuery plugin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Timeago is a jQuery plugin that makes it easy to support automatically updating
|
||
|
|
fuzzy timestamps (e.g. "4 minutes ago" or "about 1 day ago") from ISO 8601
|
||
|
|
formatted dates and times embedded in your HTML (à la microformats).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First, load jQuery and the plugin:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<script src="jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
|
||
|
|
<script src="jquery.timeago.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now, let's attach it to your timestamps on DOM ready:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
|
||
|
|
jQuery('abbr[class*=timeago]').timeago();
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will turn all abbr elements with a class of timeago and an ISO 8601 timestamp in the title:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<abbr class="timeago" title="2008-07-17T09:24:17Z">July 17, 2008</abbr>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
into something like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<abbr class="timeago" title="2008-07-17T09:24:17Z">about 1 day ago</abbr>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As time passes, the timestamps will automatically update.
