Talk:2445: Checkbox

It doesn't work as described, fo be. Does it depend on the browser? I'm using Chrome.

[I don't see 'Loading...' or any other text, or a mute button; I do see dots and dashes, but get no sound(s).]

To activate the sound, you must click the unmute button on the bottom right corner.

If your clicking abilities have dwindled since the invention of the vocal telephone, you may use this roughly written script in the webconsole as an aid

(()=>{
 const checkbox = document.querySelector('#comic>label')
 const asleep = async (dur) => {
   let r
   const p = new Promise(res=>r=res)
   setTimeout(r,dur)
   return p
 }
 const press = async (dur) => {
   checkbox.dispatchEvent(new Event('mousedown'))
   await asleep(dur)
   checkbox.dispatchEvent(new Event('mouseup', { bubbles: true }))
 }
 
 // timings
 const long = async () => press(600)
 const short = async () => press(100)
 const space = async () => asleep(600)      // End character delay
 const endWord = async () => asleep(600)    // End word delay. (same as character)
 const end = async () => await asleep(2100) // End message delay
 
 const type = async (c) =>  {
   if (c == '.') await short()
   else if (c == '-') await long()
   else if (c == ' ') await space()
   else if (c == '/') await endWord()
   //else if (c == '/') await end()
 } 
 const send = async (msg) =>  {
   const code = morse.encode(msg)
   
   // Give checkbox focus and wait a moment so focusin hooks or something may run.
   checkbox.dispatchEvent(new Event('focusin'))
   await asleep(100)
   
   // Type each character
   for await (const char of code)
     await type(char)
 }
 
 // Say something
 send('hi')
})()

Feel free to fix/clean/shorten/move the script. Probably best to keep it at the bottom of discussion 108.162.237.46 10:17, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
