Is there any way to tweet something directly just with the click of a button without using tweetbox?

Question

I m just looking forward to tweet something directly from a webpage without using the tweet box. Of course, after authentication. All i want is this. If the user is already logged in tweet directly if he clicks on the button. If not, provide an authentication screen and immediately after logging in tweet the text. And no use of tweet box. Any idea abt how this can be done? Thanks.

I have made a javascript function you can call onClick.. or just call the URL:

function tweet(url, text) {
            url = encodeURIComponent(url);
            text = encodeURIComponent(text);
            window.open("http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=" + url + "&text=" + text + "&url=" + url, "_blank");
        }

I have used this on multiple project, easy to use, uses Twitter itself, simple and adds a short url to the message.

I am not 100% sure if this is what you are looking for, but can be handy.
