Popup images of the original pages
Throughout the diary, the page breaks which occur are rendered as clickable links which bring up an image of the original diary page to which they correspond. These links are activated on both sides of the diary text and when clicked, the window which contains the image appears on the opposite side of the window to link which was clicked. This is so that one may compare the transcription or the translation to the original diary.
An example of this feature is presented here.
Popup annotations
Underlined text refers to an annotation in the back matter. The side-by-side diary view page pops-up annotations on mouse-over for javascript and css enabled browsers.
Quick links to sections and chapters
The navigational menus at the right and left side of the page control quick links to various points of the diary which correspond to the beginning of new chapters and the beginning of new months in Alexander's journey. The original text and the translation can be controlled independently: each menu controls the text on its side of the window.
