Hi Mark,
For my own internal storage that's correct, I can just leave it as Unicode (as long as I read it back as unicode and send it to the browser as unicode). I need to pass it on to a third party app though and that isn't unicode aware (yet). I've found a few solutions, none directly relevant to Python. In the interests of completeness however... Firefox and IE will populate a hidden field called _charset_ on the form with the encoding used to submit the form. I can also "hope" that the form is submitted back in the same encoding it was sent (although the user can change that). Cheers, Emlyn. _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
