Does your plugin require Ek be installed and active? I have it installed and I have tried it active and not, when it’s active I get cx, but not the other 5, and when it is off I get nothing, just a bunch of x’s.

Am I doing something wrong?

Please contact me at your earliest convenience so I can not only get this working but bring it to my local Esperanto group as well. Thanks.

It is working fine . Now I am not able to figure out a way to find text area on web page being browsed . Firstly , chat box on imo.im or gmail is wrapped in div or span id .
Can you help me in this regard ?
Somebody at mozilla zine suggested me to ‘ask user to press shortcut key combination that will invoke the addon and send the id of element from where keystroke originated’ . Don’t know how to do that too ?
Also – is there a way to edit contents of address bar in firefox ?

If you can answer any of these questions , I will be grateful to you.

I am creating an addon which will transliterate english to hindi just like google provides except it would work offline but won’t provide any suggestion to user.
Have you created firefox addons so that I can ask you further ?
Please reply me via e-mail .
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XUL_School provides tutorial (which I am reading) but it would be easier to take help from developer , if possible.
Thank You.

Also , I will soon inform you about ‘did I get range selection working?’

Thanks again for prompt reply.

I don’t know off-hand how to select all of the text, but I think maybe this link may be able to help you: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2813612/firefox-select-text-range

PART OF BODY

IN HEAD SECTION
function press_a_key()
{ document.forms[0].t1.focus();
var evt = document.createEvent(“KeyboardEvent”);
evt.initKeyEvent(“keypress”, true, true, null, false, false, false, false, 0, 97);
document.forms[0].t1.dispatchEvent(evt);
}

This has worked. it types ‘a’ inside text area .

I tried to set ctrlarg to true yet the effect of ctrl+a in textarea which should select everything did not happen.
What do you suggest ?

Thank you.

but it would be better if you change
* open(file_path, ‘r’) -> open(file_path, ‘rb’)
* padding = ord(frame_hdr[2]) & 1 == 1 -> padding = ord(frame_hdr[2]) & 2

I’m going now to download your plug-in and search for Esperanto decks in the list of shared decks.

FWIW, in Windows I’ve used Diacrit, an inexpensive little program that can provide diacritics for any language. More info here: http://www.sandrila.co.uk/diacrit/

I have no connection with the company other than as a customer.

I ended up just finding another plugin that did something similar and implementing my plugin in a similar manner. In my case I was looking at the German plugin.
