Typing test website

February 13, 2007 11:31 PM

How can I submit my own text, have it cut up, and use it as a typing test?

I want to make a website like this: http://labs.jphantom.com/wpm/ except I want the ability to add my own text in a field, submit it, and then have it automatically cut up into smaller segments and displayed for me to type out accordingly.

How should I get started?

Here's a little hack for that site you linked to:

Reload the page, and in the address bar of your browser, enter:

javascript:alert(h="your own text");

where "your own text" is replaced with, well, your own text.

then enter this (all on one line, no linebreaks):

javascript:function initiate () {if ( mode == 'stopped' ) {mode = 'started'; document.getElementById('img').innerHTML = h; start();}}

And there you go:)
