He's developing a web-based language course for Gaelic and Sami and is looking for a "floating/onscreen keyboard" which he could put on the site to insert the special characters from these languages when students are doing writing exercises online. He says there are plenty of download applications but his target users are not necessarily computer literate enough and/or are using public access PCs so are unable to install downloads. He therefore wants to offer them the characters on the screen so they can just click on a character which will insert itself next to the cursor when writing. He's looking ideally for a Java applet or Java script. Any suggestions gratefully received.
