The page itself has nothing interesting, public domain.
For the javascripts, the ones I've written are LGPL'ed, and the
keyboard driver that Pooya has touched too, is GPL'ed.  They all
list this in their headers.

- First, gives you our beloved standard Persian keyboard. So you
can type standard Persian on any computer running IE, Mozilla, or
Firefox.

- Shows the layout for your convenience.

- Makes it easy to convert back and forward between UTF-8 and
HTML entities that is a common operation when dealing with web

I actually have been working on a Persian-enabled htmlArea[1]
system too, but that's far from being done.

Not quite what you asked for, but I added a fewture to convert
HTML special characters (<>'"&) to entity form and back, so you
can escape a bare Persian text and insert it into HTML or
JavaScript.

In case you need ideas for future enhancements, please consider putting
an apostrophe checker which will search out unescaped apostrophes in the content
and add the extra slash before them however leave the apostrophes that are part
of the js code alone. This apostrophe problem is already a 
big enough headache in javascript but in Persian where we transliterate hamze
with apostrophe it is that much worse.  Note, I am shamelessly suggesting the
enhancement without even first having tried out your new editor :)

I actually have been working on a Persian-enabled htmlArea[1]
system too, but that's far from being done.

URLs to memorize

2005-07-28 Thread Behdad Esfahbod
Hi all,

Today the site at http://dat.ir/ was brought to my attention.
It was some good stuff like a complete annotated Iranian calendar
(Persian, Islamic, and Gregorian).  I'm intersted in knowing how
accurate their calendar data is.  Any information in that regard
would be helful, since:

In case you have not seen it before, I have put up a proto
calendar widget here:

  http://behdad.org/calendar


(Alternatively for a limited time period the URL
http://iraniancalendar.info/ should work too.  If I see enough
interest, I may renew that URL for next year.)  The Islamic
calendar in my implementation is not in synch with the Iranian
practice and needs some work.  Any help in that area is
appreciated.  The source code is available at:

  http://behdad.org/calendar/cal.phps


I've also made a simple JavaScript editor using the latest
version of the JavaScript keyboard driver that Pooya Karimian,
Behnam, and I worked on here:
