A simple regex should take care of that for you. Just search for any occurrence of @<any number of letters of numbers> and wrap the result in an href tag.

I'd like to have some kind of function that would automatically link @USERNAME to that persons Twitter page (http:// twitter.com/USERNAME) when, or if, they add their @USERNAME to the description field. (div class="description") Can this be done with jQuery? Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks, BB
