Pooya
(Persian Javascript)
Persian/Farsi keyboard emulation under IE/Mozilla/Firefox browsers using Javascript.
This code is originally an implementation of National Iranian Keyboard Standard (ISIRI 2901:1994)
from Roozbeh Pournader and
Behdad Esfahbod but I made some changes
to make it work under Firefox/Mozilla browsers too.
It is known to work under Internet Explorer 6.0 in Microsoft Windows
and Mozilla and Firefox browsers in any Unicode supporting OS. This code is licensed under
GNU General Public License.
Please report comments and bugs to info at_pooyak.com.
Try typing in the following textbox. CTRL+ALT changes language and SHIFT+SPACE inserts a Zero-Width-Non-Joiner character:
Update (2006-04-13): initKeyEvent is back in Firefox 1.5.0.2 (Bug #303713).
Update (2005-12-02): I fixed vertical and horizontal scrolling in Firefox=>1.0.6. Although still horizontal scrolling has some small issues it works fine in most of the cases.
Update (2005-09-09): Thanks to Behdad and Artyom Lukanin the script is now working in Firefox => 1.0.6 too.
Update (2005-08-07): Seems like because of a vulnerability initkeyevent is disabled from Firefox 1.0.6 as you can see in bug #289940. I'm too busy but I will try to write a complete description and comment on that bug hoping that this feature returns back to Firefox.
Firefox on Windows up to version 1.0.x has problem with catching CTRL+ALT event. This problem is fixed in the nightly builds coming with Gecko 1.8b. Knowing that it will be fixed in the next Firefox release (1.1.x). I decided to leave the same key combination, because it is the best possible combination possible. You can change the source code to add extra shortcuts.

Salam Pooya, I was wondering if you know of any javascript code that would produce a persian keyboard. Some people were complaining that they either can't type using persian keyboard or don't have it at work. Best, mehdi

Hi Mehdi, I guess you mean a keyboard image that people can look at or type by clicking on it, is that right? There's this Behdad editor http://behdad.org/editor/ which uses this javascript code for the keypresses. There you can find the keyboard images. Knowing Behdad, I'm guessing that those images are GPL'ed as well. We can confirm it with him. But still that's not a clickable keyboard. But it shouldn't be that hard to implement. I look into it if you think it is needed.

I saw Behdad's after I saw your javascript. Your draft keyboard looks promising. My knowledge of javascript is not that good. It would be great if you can drop the letters in a box. Best, mehdi

P [Hide]
No, that's not true. You probably try to press the "\" button to get "پ" similar to Microsoft Windows. But in the ISIRI 2901:1994 which is the Iran's standard layout you should press "M" to get "پ".
