i-name Lookup

Type any i-name below to lookup and navigate directly to the owner's contact page:


Help

  • Type an i-name into the box above and click Lookup i-name to be taken straight to the owner's contact page.
  • Make sure you include the = or @ prefix for the i-name
  • Try it with your own i-name, or you can try =you - you should be redirected to our home page!

Technical Notes

  • The i-name lookup is very straightforward - it simply takes the i-name you give it and redirects you to the XRI registry to lookup the name.
  • You can add an i-name lookup to your site very easily with the following code:
    <input class="iname_lookup" id="iname_lookup_input" /><br />
    <button onclick="window.open('http://xri.net/' + document.getElementById('iname_lookup_input').value);">Lookup i-name</button>
    
  • You can style your i-name lookup box to match ours with this simple CSS:
    input.iname_lookup {
      background: url('http://equalsyou.com/images/iname_lookup.gif') no-repeat;
      background-color: #fff;
      background-position: 0 50%;
      padding-left: 20px;
    }
