Share to Twitter from a link using Javascript

share-twitter.js

// Opens a pop-up with twitter sharing dialog

var url = "http://google.com";
var text = "Replace this with your text";
window.open('http://twitter.com/share?url='+encodeURIComponent(url)+'&text='+encodeURIComponent(text), '', 'left=0,top=0,width=550,height=450,personalbar=0,toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0');

This is great! Thanks for sharing! One question....what do you do when you have commas, quotes, ampersands, etc? They get converted as well and it provides a challenge. Any workaround for that?

Simple and nice.

Thanks!

Thanks.
Very straightforward

Just a little improvement to easily add other params:

      // Opens a pop-up with twitter sharing dialog
      var shareURL = "http://twitter.com/share?"; //url base
      //params
      var params = {
        url: "http://google.com", 
        text: "Replace this with your text",
        via: "sometwitterusername",
        hashtags: "hashtag1,hashtag2"
      }
      for(var prop in params) shareURL += '&' + prop + '=' + encodeURIComponent(params[prop]);
      window.open(shareURL, '', 'left=0,top=0,width=550,height=450,personalbar=0,toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0');

Thanks ! working like a charm !

Thanks a lot!
