FR: Pop-up on <textarea> controls #7
Description
In Firefox I used add-on Mandaring Popup. I created a very simple website, stored locally on my hard drive as a text file, which displayed a number of multi-line text input boxes, here is the code:
<body>
<pre> <textarea cols="50" rows="10"></textarea> <textarea cols="51" rows="10"></textarea> <textarea cols="50" rows="10"></textarea></pre>
<pre> <textarea cols="50" rows="10"></textarea> <textarea cols="51" rows="10"></textarea> <textarea cols="50" rows="10"></textarea></pre>
<pre> <textarea cols="50" rows="10"></textarea> <textarea cols="51" rows="10"></textarea> <textarea cols="50" rows="10"></textarea></pre>
</body>
I've been using this for over 7 years as a Chinese text reader, where I would paste, or type, a bunch of Chinese text and then casually hover the mouse over the hanzi to get the English translation. Unfortunately, LiuChan doesn't appear to recognize text in <textarea> controls. It does, however, work on <input> controls. The difference is that the latter is a single-line input box, which is not very good for large texts:
The
<textarea>tag defines a multi-line text input control.
Would it be possible to enable LiuChan to work on <textarea> controls too? Thanks!!
