About WebKBD

WebKBD is a browser-based keyboard layout switcher. You can put it on your site, thus enabling users whose computers aren't localized properly to write in their own alphabet. WebKBD is inspired by Kredor Web Keyboards, but has multiple advantages over it. Here's a short comparison between them:

	WebKBD	Kredor Web Keyboards
Browsers supported	IE, Firefox/Mozilla, Opera, Chrome, Safari	IE, Firefox/Mozilla
Switching using Shift+WinKey	Yes (IE, Firefox/Mozilla, Chrome, Safari)	Yes (Internet Explorer only)
Web standards compliance	Yes	No
Code tidyness	Yes	No (pollutes the global namespace)
Optimized cyrillic layouts (phonetic and BDS)	Yes ('ѝ' instead of 'Ь')	No
Size (uncompressed)	6,5 KB	10,9 KB
Size (GZIP-compressed)	3,3 KB	5,3 KB

За WebKBD

WebKBD е превключвател на клавиатурни подредби за браузъри. Можете да го поставите на своя сайт, позволявайки на потребителите си, които нямат настроена кирилизация на компютрите си, да пишат на кирилица. Идеята за WebKBD идва от Kredor Уеб-клавиатури, но WebKBD има значителни подобрения. Ето кратко сравнение между двата продукта:

	WebKBD	Kredor Уеб-клавиатури
Съвместимост с браузъри	IE, Firefox/Mozilla, Opera, Chrome, Safari	IE, Firefox/Mozilla
Превключване със Shift+WinKey	Да (IE, Firefox/Mozilla, Chrome, Safari)	Да (само в Internet Explorer)
Спазване на web стандартите	Да	Не
Подреденост на кода	Да	Не (замърсяване на глобалния namespace)
Оптимизирани кирилски подредби (фонетична и БДС)	Да ('ѝ' вместо 'Ь')	Не
Размер (без компресия)	6.5 КБ	10.9 КБ
Размер (с GZIP компресия)	3.3 КБ	5.3 КБ
