Hi Everybody :)

I working right now on a Ajax Domain Checker that I want to release under a free license. However - before I go through the code, improve it, fix all of the known bugs (yes - there are many yet) - and so on. I would hear if anybody in here at all are interested in such script?

Please give me some feedback... right now it pretty plain and simple - but I will add more feature to it as time goes.

There is a lot of bugs at the moment - however it works in most cases - but if you enter eg. 2 domains fast after each other i will lookup both :) No need to tell me...

Anyway - take a look and give me some feedback.

Its nice. Here are few suggestions:

- 'WAITING FOR YOUR INPUT' thing should be changed to reflect what is really going on, ie: "waiting for you input" and then "looking up love.com".

- When I hit "enter" you should start search right away rather then waiting.

-Where there is "." in the string your search should ignore everything after it. So when I enter love.com , you should search for love.* and not love.com.com

- You should remove all invalid characters from domain name: when I enter lo've you should search for love.* rather then lo\'ve.*

- Maybe you should prevent me from entering special character and . at first place and show small warning when I attempt to do so

Well, you could strip those characters out.

good point on the .com.com. the checker should be smart enough to realize the extension was added, then automatically check the extension they typed in and any others.

That should be pretty simple stuff. I'm not a fan of ajax yet, it's far too buggy for me, but I do see how people would like this.

Thanks both for replies.

I think I will have time to do some of the above improvements tomorrow :)

Well - far too buggy? Its right some old browsers doesn't support. But imho it gives some nice good-working application. Like a page dont need to reload just because you add a comment and so on :)
