> Subject: "floating/onscreen keyboard"
>
>
> I wonder if list members can help a colleague?
> He's developing a web-based language course for Gaelic and Sami and is
> looking for a "floating/onscreen keyboard" which he could put
> on the site to
> insert the special characters from these languages when
> students are doing
> writing exercises online.
>
> He says there are plenty of download applications but his
> target users are
> not necessarily computer literate enough and/or are using
> public access PCs
> so are unable to install downloads. He therefore wants to
> offer them the
> characters on the screen so they can just click on a
> character which will
> insert itself next to the cursor when writing. He's looking
> ideally for a
> Java applet or Java script.
>
> Any suggestions gratefully received.
