Bug fixes on Online Braille-Input-Tool

Hi,
  The first month is over, the webpage is almost finished we gone through many bugs in the last week. Sathyaseelan mash and Balaram G really helped us to find out the bugs. One of the crucial and not easy to detect was the bug with map initialization.  We take lot of time to find and fix it.  Another one was with the insertion of text at the middle. following are the names of other commits

CapsLock(G) and Beginning-Middle switch(Alt)
Simple mode checkbox
Word and letter deletion enabled
Abbreviation enabled

Basic Online Braille-Input Tool

Hi,

         As three weeks passed, After developing basic Chrome and Firefox extensions we moved to development of webpage braille-input where one can type in six key way. For achieving this we have gone through a lot of things such as Ajax, jQuery, JSON, Apache web server, etc..  The most major referred links are given at the end of this post. even my mentor also new to web based developments he always suggest me to keep it more ideal as possible.  Even the concept of Map switching bitween the begining, middle and contraction list was bit difficult to understand later I realize that's the way it should be. Finaly when we requesting for a space to host the web page one of another mentor from my organization Akshay S Dinesh gave us a hint about facility in Github itself to host. So we done it with a simple effort even we faced jQery download problem and Contraction file listing.

Source Code : https://github.com/anwar3746/braille-input

Now one can try it using the following link

Now we have to implement Abbreviations, Simple-Mode, Open, New , Save, Option to change font, font size, Background and Foreground Color etc.. as done in Sharada-Braille-Writer.
