xsd:simpleType name="url"

Why do you limit the anyURI to the "http://" prefix?

With that it's not possible to have https:// links,
nor links to e.g. local drives, nor are encoded URIs in the form "http%3A%2F%2F" allowed.
Otherwise thanks for that visually great tool!

- local drive links won't work
- why do you need to enter encoded URLs?
- it is not tested to work with https, is there a need for https?

I experimented with converting another tag cloud (see here) to use Tagul instead. All the URLs were of the form "/Topics/tabid/66/Default.aspx?topic-id=26" etc. I.e. relative to the current host. That of course means that you could do some useful things like using the tag cloud on different portals w/o changing the URLs. In Tagul I couldn't do that. Not a big deal in this case, but it was a pain to have to change all our URLs to fit Tagul.

Also, if you don't allow https, you disallow intranet (enterprise) use.

What's the benefit in limiting your URLs?

I am a fan of Tagul, and it is a special tool because the clouds are interactive and customizable.

Recently, I would like to make a Tagul cloud from the content of a Google Site, i.e. https://sites.google.com/site/kml/. However, most all Google Sites use a URL that starts with https://.

If future versions could allow a Tagul cloud to be made from a secure URL, I'd be most appreciative.

Thanks,
Chris

I've removed the restriction for HTTPS. Don't know why I didn't do it before :)
