feedback

Feedback tool similar to the Google Feedback based on jQuery and HTML2Canvas.

Usage

Load jQuery, the plugin, and its CSS:

    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
	<script src="feedback.js"></script>
	<link rel="stylesheet" href="feedback.min.css" />

Init plugin:

    <script type="text/javascript">
        $.feedback({
            ajaxURL: 'http://test.url.com/feedback',
            html2canvasURL: 'js/html2canvas.js'
        });
    </script>

Requirements

• jQuery
• html2canvas

Compatibility

Pretty much it should be working on any browser with canvas support. Browsers with no canvas support won't display the feedback button.
