How to add image tagging the facebook way !

Updated post here
Today I want to show you how to make a image tagging function on your website.
It works about the same way than facebook does (or a least the way it worked some times ago because I deleted my facebook account)
Basicly you take an image and you “tag” people or stuff in it by marking what you want to tag with a rectangle.
This example is just a proof of concept and will give you a good idea on how to make it better for your website.
This script requires jquery and jquery-ui with draggable and resizable function(it’s included in the source).
note : I didnt have time to test it on IE so let me know if it works for you…
Here is the Demo and the Source.

Hello all,
First let’s explain the basics of what we are trying to do.
We’ll build a script that will replace any type of url to a tiny url so it’s easier to post or be untraceable.
For example this *long* google maps url
http://maps.google.fr/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=fr&geocode=&q=white+house&sll=46.75984,1.738281&sspn=10.178118,28.54248&ie=UTF8&z=15&iwloc=A
could become

This is not very hard to do but it’s nice tutorial for beginners.
