Looks good - nice idea, but I had a couple of problems using it... I think it's still a bit buggy:

1. Doesn't seem to work in Chrome? I get no results no matter what I do. 2. Checking the checkbox next to "International" or "All country extensions" should select all the checkboxes in that section IMO. It feels like it's not doing anything. 3. After playing for a bit in Firefox, it disabled the individual and country extensions so I couldn't select them individually. 4. If my word doesn't match any valid domain, I get an error telling me I need to select a country extension.

That said, if you can iron out the bugs, this could be useful :)

Update: you may want to refresh the page and try again. I fixed a Javascript issue a few minutes after posting this thread. You may have the old JS in cache (I've modified the URL to avoid any cache issue)

What version of Chrome and FF do you use?

1. Not tested on Opera, Chrome or IE 7/6 yet

2. In FF 3+ and IE 8, selecting a group (such as International or All country extensions) selects all the individual extensions.

3. Did you choose a restriction such as price of known registrar. Only in this case extensions will be disabled (extensions that are more expensive than your price, or that do not have a "known" registrar)

4. Do you mean you added an extension in your word, like google.com? Could you send em the exact words you tried? feedback@domain-generator.us. You should be able to enter any word, and click on Search as long as you selected at least 1 extension.

Thanks for testing!

Ok, I've forced a refresh and here's an update :)

1. No worries - Chrome is "5.0.342.2 dev", and FF is 3.5.8

2. Yep, it's working for me in FF now. Still not in Chrome, btw.

3. Yes, I did. That'd be it - my bad. Maybe something hinting that that's why? As a suggestion, perhaps a number in parentheses in each tab? e.g. "Restrictions (1)" if I've selected one restriction? Just an idea :)

4. I can't reproduce this now! Maybe the JS update fixed it?

Happy to test! Like I said, nice idea :)

1. It works with Safari and Chrome now.

2. Thanks for the suggestions. I added the number of restrictions and suggestions. The alert also suggest that some extensions are disabled because of the restrictions.

Same issue and I'm on FF3.6

This is a side projects I started a long time ago (my first JQuery project) and never had time to finish.

Also it is far from being complete, I've decided to release it. Let me know what you think of it, any bug or problem.

Thanks

BTW, I should mention my number one missing feature IMHO is a to do a sort on the domain names found.

It's "Godaddy", and not "Godady".

Thanks, fixed
