Is this a webstar issue?No, I'm guessing this is an ISO character set issue. Different browsers display 'special' characters as different shapes, depending on the preferences the user has set up.You'll need to find out the ASCII values of those characters your customer is sending, and then create a custom ConvertChars database that converts them to standard characters. You can see a simplistic example of this in the StandardConversions.db, which converts the MacOS trademark symbol to a
TM which simulates a superscript trademark in HTML.Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ==== Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant, 11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster, San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon 619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/
