In this article I will show you how to use Addthis in website. I want to load Addthis social bookmarking widget dynamically on button click using jQuery. It was implemented by using knockoutjs. It is a free, open source, lightweight javascript library.
On the page load add the articles url and title in the array variable. When the user clicks the load button addthis toolbar will generate for each article.
<style type="text/css">
.controls {
border: 1px solid #d7d7d7;
}
.article {
border-bottom: 1px solid #999;
}
</style>
