It does not use Google Web Toolkit or any big JavaScript libraries. + <li>It has been tested and found to work in the following browsers: + <ul> + <li>On the Mac: Firefox 3.5 & 3.6, Safari 4.0, Opera 10.10 and + Google Chrome 4.0.249.49. + <li>On Linux: Firefox 3.0.18 & 3.5, Opera 10.10. + <li>On the Android Dev Phone: Android Mobile Safari 3.0.4 & 3.1.2 + and Android Opera Mini 4.2. + </ul> + It does not seem work in Internet Explorer 7 + (there are both styling and scripting issues). + <li>The implementation consist of two JavaScript files: + <a href="minibar.js">minibar.js</a> (186 lines) + and <a href="support.js">support.js</a> (147 lines). + The latter is also used in a small web app based on the + <a href="http://spraakbanken.gu.se/sal/ws/">SALDO web services</a>. + <li>To access the GF web service, it uses the + <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON#JSONP">JSONP method</a> + mentioned in the GF + web services paper, which allows the web app to be hosted on a different server + from the GF web service. (To demonstrate this, I put the Minibar demo on + www.cs.chalmers.se, while the GF server that it calls is on + www.grammaticalframework.org.) + <li>As an experiment, it does no use the <code>grammars.xml</code> file, + but instead calls a little CGI script, + <a href="http://www.grammaticalframework.org:41296/grammars/grammars.cgi.txt">grammars.cgi</a> + which lists the .pgf in the directory, in JSONP format. (Note: if you want to install + this on your own computer, + <ul> + <li>if you click on the link, + the CGI script will be downloaded as <code>grammars.cgi.txt</code>, + but it should be called <code>grammars.cgi</code> and stored on the server + in the same directory as the grammar files. + <li>for CGI scripts to work with lighttpd, <code>"mod_cgi"</code> needs to be included + in the definition of <code>server.modules</code> in the + <code>lighttpd.conf</code> file.) + </ul> + <li>[Added 2010-02-16] There is a button for generating random sentences. + <li>[Added 2010-02-23] All translations are shown, not just the first one, if there are + multiple parses. + <li>[Added 2010-02-25] Next to each translation, there is now a little tree icon that + you can click on to see a drawing of an abstract syntax tree or a parse tree. If you click + on a drawing it collapses back into a tree icon. +</ul> + +<hr> +<address> +<a href="http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~hallgren/">TH</a> +<img src="http://www.altocumulus.org/~hallgren/online.cgi?icon" alt=""></address> +</address> +<!-- hhmts start --> Last modified: Thu Mar 25 15:06:22 CET 2010 <!-- hhmts end --> +</body> </html> |
