Add PY to a Web Document

This form allows you to select the URL for a web page containing Chinese characters. It will return that web page, with pinyin added next to the characters. You can select the level of pinyin added to the page. For example, if you select level 1 (beginning), all characters in the page will have pinyin added. If you select 2 (intermediate beginning), all characters above the 500 most frequently used characters will have pinyin added, if 3 (advanced beginning) then all above the 1,000 most frequently used characters, and so on up to level 10 which will only list characters less common that the 4,500 most commonly used characters. If you can reach this level, then my hat goes off to you. Either way, you can select the level that best suits your ability.

You also have the option of how many times pinyin will be added for a character. If "Only Add for First" then pinyin will only be added for the first occurence of the character, if "Add for All" then pinyin will be added for each occurance of the character.

There may some problems clicking on external links. I've tried to make that possible but may have missed some cases. Java applets will also not load. For URL's that just end in a site name or directory, be sure to end it with a slash to make the external links work properly. For example, for my home page the best format is "http://www.erols.com/eepeter/" rather than "http://www.erols.com/eepeter". For URL's that end with an html file, you do not need to do anything special. Also, the GB file I use is missing about 300 characters, but I think they are the most uncommon characters so this should not a problem unless you are a student of ancient Buddhist texts.

There are probably other problems I haven't found yet. I'm working on them all and would appreciate hearing suggestions or ideas. Enjoy!
