Re: Converting characters to numbers ...
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 1997
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 14829
interpreted = N
texte = >Now is there anyway that I can get this data via webcatalog to a database where I can then >Assign each character of surname a number. These numbers then relate to a font character >So that in theory when a user enters their name in the fields the page when submitted will >Return a form that has all their details completely formatted in graphical text and looking pretty.This sounds intriguing, and my spider-sense tells me that you're trying to accomplish something here with this 'number' technique, but I don't know what it is. Can you tell us what you're really trying to do, so maybe we can offer an alternate solution? I don't see how converting letters to numbers has anything to do with fonts (which aren't allowed in HTML much anyway).Grant Hulbert, V.P.
