Help
This display provides the same definitions as the basic display,
but has a different way of
specifiying input/output options and permits users to, in effect,
type Devanagari. This version also incorporates a list of words 'near'
a given word, and has some limited ability to permit the user to get
information even in absence of knowing the exact spelling of a word.
The web page may be considered to have several parts.
-
The dictionary title.
- A Preferences Button by which the user may
select various options pertaining to either input or output.
The choice of 'server display' preference govern how Sanskrit
accents are displayed.
- A Word Input Field in which is displayed the word for
which the user wishes to display a definition. The user may enter this word
by typing keys (according to the Preferences chosen). Alternatively,
the user may use the mouse to click appropriate keys on the 'virtual keyboard'
which is availabe by clicking the Keyboard Button.
- A Word Definition Area displays a
definition of the word shown in the Word Input Field. A list of words
that are 'near' the word is shown in the Word List area.
