This isn't really the forum for this, so I'll just point you to 2 articles I wrote recently: http://skew.org/xml/misc/URI-i18n/ http://skew.org/xml/misc/xml_vs_http/ The answer is, basically, you don't make it work. I've seen message board forms that collect language info (user-entered, or obtained from HTTP Accept-Language headers) and make an educated guess about the encoding based on that, but it's always just a guess. IE4/5 is fairly predictable and even makes the actual encoding available, if scripting is turned on, so if you're targeting those browsers, you have more control. As for omitting non-ASCII characters, sure, you could do that. *cringe* :) - Mike ____________________________________________________________________ Mike J.
