I've tried this method, but unfortunately it doesn't work right. I have a problems with special chars from other languages.
For example, if I want to type the letter t which in Romanian language is a "t" with a comma below it, I need to switch to the Romanian keyboard and press a key which types the code 254. Well, if I use this code in a character entity like þ in an HTML document, it shows me a question mark instead (?). To make it show right I need to use ţ instead. I don't know why this difference appears nor how I could solve it automaticly. So for the moment I need to manually replace each separate special character. The CGI pod documentation says that if I use CGI::escapeHTML it will replace all the characters which are not standard with some named character entities or if other charset than ISO-8859-1 is used they will be replaced with their numeric form. Well, this replacement is not made at all for those strange chars, but only for < > & " and maybe a few others. Teddy ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.
