jQuery script to populate a specified input with a suggested slug. For example, if I write 'My Title' in a title field, it can populate the slug field with a suggestion of 'my_title'.
Video demo at http://screencast.com/t/WcjpL2lc.
By default it uses a title field ending in [title] or [name] as the source field, and a field ending in [slug] as the destination. This matches the naming conventions for a framework like CakePHP, i.e. <?php echo $form->input('title'); ?> outputs an input with a name of data[Model][title].
You can override the default source and destination fields by setting document.slugField and document.titleField in JavaScript beforehand:
<script>
document.titleField = "input[name$='[heading]']";
document.slugField = "input[name$='[url_safe_heading]']";
</script>
