I am an amateur coder and I have a small problem.

My goal is to have one text input with two buttons.

  • The first button uses a bit of Javascript called SundayMorning to translate the text (to Chinese)
  • The second button submits the text to a URL. The URl requires that Chinese text be encoded it in GBK2312 character set.

I have duct taped together various found code to the result I have now. Due to the finicky behavior of the SundayMorning Javascript, my solution is to have two input boxes, the second of which I will hide.

Right now, this doesn't work:

  • I am unable to encode the Chinese in GBK2312, no matter what I try.
  • BONUS CONUNDRUM: The second box copies my input letter by letter as I type, but does not copy the Chinese translation that the Javascript returns.

Sorry for my janky amateur code. I defer to those more clever, if you have any kind suggestions.
