How does the DiggBar work?

I\'m trying to make an ASP.NET MVC DiggBar clone just for learning purposes and does anyone have a suggestion on how to specify the url

Answer 1

The basic html is:

  


  All your toolbar stuff here.

You would have a slug on your own URLs that maps to the page's URL, e.g.
d1oKo3 => http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7991708.stm

All your view would have to do is look up the mapping and put the page's URL into the iframe's src. Just make sure you have a way for users to opt out, as some people don't like this sort of toolbar.
