I wanted to type something in Esperanto at work today, but I didn't want to install or configure anything on my work PC. What I decided to do was whip up a page in Javascript that would work like a notepad and convert x-kludge to special characters as you type.

Here's the page. It works online or offline (just save it to your hard drive) and should work fine on any modern browser. Not the perfect solution, but it's very easy to get working and very portable.

Feel free to reply with any bugs or comments. My javascript isn't the best, but I hope this is useful to somebody.

Hey, that’s great! In case the URL of your page is too difficult to remember, I created a redirect from tinyurl.com/esperantox.

Thanks ridulo.gif. My Esperanto is not so good yet, but if somebody could post this in the Esperanto section of the forum more people might be able to find it.

Nice work, but I've found a bug in that notepad: one can not edit a "^-letter" in the middle of a line, because the x always goes to the end of that line. E.g., I've written:

ĉirkaŭajoj ĥaoso ŝanĝiĝoj

Then I've seen I forgot to put an ^ in "ĉirkaŭajoj", but if put an x after that j, the phrase goes:

ĉirkaŭajoj ĥaoso ŝanĝiĝoĵ

Thanks everyone for your responses ridulo.gif

Vilinilo - I noticed that too. Unfortunately I can't seem to find a good way to locate the cursor position in a textarea. All the ways I've seen I'm unhappy with and probably wouldn't work well. So I'm going to leave this as it is for now.

It would be nice if I could find an open source notepad app that worked like the one at writer.bighugelabs.com and modify it to work with x input.

Pharoah:--GO ahead and delete this if you can, I posted twice somehow!--
I would but it looks like permissions have been changed for vortaro admins lango.gif
At least I don't have to worry about editing other people's messages instead of replying to them okulumo.gif

And I can understand why one would be hesitant to implement a cursor-locating feature so that the letter appears in the right position - that just gets tedious. If I find any good open source web-based notepad I'll let you know.
Is the google docs one OS?
