I am an amateur coder and I have a small problem.
My goal is to have one text input with two
buttons.
The first button uses a bit of
Javascript called SundayMorning to
translate the text (to Chinese)
The second button submits the text to a
URL. The URl requires that Chinese
text be encoded it in GBK2312
character set.
I have duct taped together various found code to the result I have now. Due to the finicky behavior of the SundayMorning Javascript, my solution is to have two input boxes, the second of which I will hide.
Right now, this doesn't work:
I am unable to encode the Chinese in GBK2312, no matter what I try.
BONUS CONUNDRUM: The second box copies my input letter by letter as I type, but does not copy the Chinese translation that the Javascript returns.
Sorry for my janky amateur code. I defer to those more clever, if you have any kind suggestions.
