romaji + Kanji + kana (English visible on mouse drag)


At my romaji-Kanji-kana dictionary page Aule Page for stroke order diagrams, you can now drag the mouse after the dot to see the English meanings from Kanjidic2:



In my browser, that is the white text on the blue background. The text below for the next Kanji remains invisible - and still no JavaScript - just HTML+CSS.

If you copy this HTML to be a local home page, you can make a variant with a change to the "engl" SPAN stylesheet definition so as to make the English visible for quicker review or for neophytes, tyros or simply to .

Kanji Font Option


I have run http://aule-browser.com/kanji/kanjidic2-joyo-hz-2.html through a regexp to set a span around the Japanese joyo kanji English definitions so that you can download the page and set your own "dfn" style for a local version of your own.

At the moment I am using Garamond for the English meanings, but I am open to suggestions.  The kanji remain in HanaminA from the Hanazono Mincho font project.

The page is just HTML+CSS (no JavaScript) so no need for a snapshot here - just stop by and see if it looks useful.

Each day I re-arrange the order of the kanji somewhat.

If you would like a page with fewer meanings from Kanjidic2 or have an alternate meaning to suggest, just leave a comment or mail robertATaule-browser.com

Seven Degrees From Home


Over at my Joyo Kanji page there are now links across some dictionary entries.

For example, there are seven links looping a chain through "house" (but not yet the counters for houses, or greenhouse or warehouse or castle ...)

If you have the Hanazono Mincho font already installed, the page will load promptly as the CSS stylesheet is now set to look for a local font first.
