Kanji of the Day

Because a collection of Curl objects underlies the Kanji by Grade pages at http://www.aule-browser.com/kanji/kanjidic2-grades.html the pages now have a Kanji of the Day feature with only a minimal change (a variable's value replaces a character literal and a procedure is called with two integers to delimit a safe and reasonable range.)

The Kanji character for the session is placed as the default in the search text field. A student clicks the 'Find' button to jump to the definition for that Japanese kanji character.

Within the applet, the kanji character is found by using a factory method on the class Random and a seed from a DateTime instance. The instance of a Random type is likely LinearRandom as Random is itself an abstract  class.

The same class declaration 'scurl' file is included by all of these kanji-by-grade applets.

Note: I also generalized the search function today by using one more instance of GuiMark.
