Parsing DOM

blurts.suspend()

The blurts widget tries to parse your page after it loads. You can prevent this by calling the following function.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://blurts.com/api/js">
  blurts.suspend();
</script>

blurts.suspended()

Returns true if the widget has been suspended.

blurts.buttons( [(selector|DOMObject|jQObject)] )

Finds all the textareas and attaches blurts buttons to them. Examples:
blurts.buttons();       // attach to all textareas
blurts.buttons('body'); // identical to previous

blurts.buttons('#comment');    // attach to textarea with id "comment"
blurts.buttons('.edit-field'); // attach to all textareas with class "edit-field"

blurts.buttons(document.getElementById('edit-comment')); // passing DOM-object
blurts.buttons($('.edit'));                              // passing jQuery-objects

blurts.players( [(selector|DOMObject|jQObject)] )

Finds all blurts urls and links, and converts them into inline players
blurts.players();       // convert all urls and links
blurts.players('body'); // identical to previous

// parse element with id "my-container" and its children
blurts.players('#my-container');
// parse only elements (and its children) with class "my-players"
blurts.players('.my-players');

blurts.players(document.getElementById('players')); // passing DOM-object
blurts.players($('.players-links'));                // passing jQuery-objects
You can add class bl-no-parse to avoid parsing some links.
<a href="http://blurts.com/1abcde">Parsed to inline player</a>
<a href="http://blurts.com/9vwxyz" class="bl-no-parse">Shown as link</a>

blurts.reinit( [interval] )

Reinit blurts widget so DOM will be reparsed again.
blurts.reinit();       // reinit immediately
blurts.reinit(0);      // periodically reinit with default timeout (1500ms)
blurts.reinit(3000);   // periodically reinit with timeout 3000ms
Warning: periodic reinit has no effect if blurts widget has been suspended.

blurts.stopReinit()

Stops periodic reinit.

blurts.anchor( anchor )

Set default anchor for record buttons. Default anchor is "BL".
blurts.anchor('BR');
