Usage

    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script> 
    <script src="feedback.js"></script> 
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="feedback.min.css" />

    <script type="text/javascript">
        $.feedback({
            ajaxURL: 'http://test.url.com/feedback'
        });
    </script> 

Requirements
