The requirement is to:
As the user type his/her Japanese Kanji first and last names,
automatically fill in the corresponding Japanese Katakana first and
last names.
I have been searching for a while now, but I couldn't yet find anything. There seems to be several jQuery plugins that convert Hiragama to Katakana or Romaji or vice-versa but that is not what we need here.
There is one that claims to translate from Kanji to Kana but I don't think the code matches his description (it only executes the code if the input is Kana but that is supposed to be the output!).
Anyway, I need to translate a person's first/last names from Kanji to Kana.
How do I do this?
As this needs to happen while the user is filling the form, I am prefer a JavaScript solution (or any pointers to it) but if there are any pointers how to do this in .NET, I'll very much appreciated too.
It seems like there are several JavaScript solutions online to convert from Kanji, Romaji, Hiragana and Katakana. Check these out and see if they work for you:

The input I am working on is for SSNs. I would like an input with hyphens already in place and the user simply needs to type his/her 9 digit SSN and the numbers space themselves around the hyphens.
Here is a crappy paint drawing of what I mean:
These are pretty common in product key entry and other forms like that. I am having a difficult time thinking of how to make one from scratch. I am moderately skilled in HTML, AngularJS, and I know a little JQuery. The input is in its own AngularJs directive for reusuability's sake so that controller is available to do any logic.
I was considering using 3 inputs squished together or some input filtering but I am not sure. If there is already some public lightweight code on github or elsewhere that would be great too.
A goal of this too is to leave the ng-model in tact where it is only a 9-digit number and not containing any hyphens.
Thanks!
Why not use Angular module something like, you can see a preview here

How I could create an <input type="text" /> with following restrictions for the User and formatting extensions, namely using JavaScript or jQuery?
The User can use only numeric chars. Nothing else.
The User can't delete the dot. Never. Is it possible? If it isn't and the user will remove the dot, how to give the dot back automatically on losing focus?
On blur (lose focus), if the decimal places are empty, script will fill it with zeros (↓).
I need this pattern for view: X XXX.XX
(toFixed(2) I can use for two decimal places, but I don't know way to separate string according pattern).
Certainly you've noticed, that the text field should be the price. The script should operate on multiple input fields with class "pr-dec".
<input type="text" class="pr-dec" size="8" value="0.00" />
Thanks a lot for any help, your time and suggestions.
jsfiddle can facilitate it.
Google Translate says he said:
"Matus know the těchhle point I stopped, I'm a beginner and do not know what I stand on it all night"
Sounds like you need to read up on some JavaScript and jQuery tutorials. I began with something like this: jQuery for Absolute Beginners: The Complete Series
Really hope this helps.
You have a number of problems you need to solve.
Break them down into smaller chunks and tackle it from there.
Only numbers
You could watch the field (check out .on) for a change and then delete any character that's not part of the set [\d] or [0-9], but that could get messy.
A better idea might be to watch for a keydown event and only allow the keys that represent numbers.
The Dot
Trying to dynamically stop the user from deleting the dot is messy, so let's just focus on adding it back in when the field is blurred.
That's pretty easy, right? Just check for a . and if there isn't one, append ".00" to the end of the field.
Decimal Places
This is really the same problem as above. You can use .indexOf('.') to determine if the dot is present, and if it is, see if there are digits after it. If not, append "00" if so, make sure there's 2 digits, and append a "0" if there's only 1.
String Pattern
This could really be solved any number of ways, but you can reuse your search for the decimal place from above to split the string into "Full Dollar" and "Decimal" parts.
Then you can use simple counting on the "Full Dollar" part to add spaces. Check out the Javascript split and splice functions to insert characters at various string indexes.
Good luck!
Using Javascript, I need to allow a user to double click a word on a page and retrieve the sentence that it appears in. Not just any sentence, but that specific one. I've toyed with retrieving all sentences that that word appears in and somehow choosing the correct sentence, so maybe that's an option.
I've scoured the web looking for this beast, and I've thought a lot about it. Some have recommended using Rangy but I haven't been able to find the functionality I'm looking for, or even functionality that would help me get where I need to be.
Any ideas?
You could turn your page into one or multiple read-only textareas, use clever CSS styling to mask it, then use the onselect event as described here: Detect selected text in a text area with javascript
Depends of course, how your page looks like and where it's used.
I'm thinking if a user submits a message and they click a 'suggest tags' button, their message would be analyzed and a form field populated wIthaca random words from their post.
Is it possible to do this on a scalable level? Would JavaScript be able to handle it or better to Ajax back to python?
I'm thinking certain common words would be excluded (a, the, and, etc) and maybe the 10 longest words or just random not common words would be added to a form field like "tag1, tag2, tag3"
Of course it's possible, you pretty much described the algorithm to test, and it doesn't seem to contain any obviously non-computable steps:
Split the message into words
Filter out the common words
Sort the words by length
Pick the top ten and present them as tags
Not sure what you mean by "scalable level", this sounds client-side to me. Unless the messages are very long, i.e. not typed in by a human, I don't think there will be any problems just doing it.
Agree with #unwind , it depends on the content length of the text and your algorithm to grab the tags(scalability)
It is probably quite simple, but I do not how to do.
I have this regex :
new RegExp("^[A-Za-z\\u00C0-\\u017F][\\- ]?+$");
It validates a first name. The name have to begin with a letter (the range is in unicode and works fine) and then continue with letters or - or space. But it can be just letters, as in most names.
I have searched but I didn't find the right way to do it.
I don't want to duplicate the character range. It is just to have a code more "proper".
If you could help, it would be great :)
Thanks in advance
Right now you only allow one letter and then one or more dashes/spaces. You probably want
new RegExp("^[A-Za-z\\u00C0-\\u017F][A-Za-z\\u00C0-\\u017F -]*$");
But in general, trying to validate a name with regexes isn't such a good idea.
