texte = Hello. Does anyone have experience passing French accented text in form variables ?Here's what I have done:I am using [ConvertChars db=french.db] the text [/ConvertChars] in my forms and it works perfectly within the form, but if I put text into a form variable and pass it to another form, the text is mixed-up in the process.For example:When I place Éléments électroniques on a form using ConvertChars it appears as Éléments électroniquesIf I place it in a text field, it appears as Éléments électroniques.However, when I pass the variable to a second form, the variable appears as ÉlÈments Èlectroniques on the second form.The second form is using a ConvertChars, same as the first form, and it does display the correct text if I put it on the form, but not if the text is passed as a variable.If I use a GET method, the URL shows the text as %C9l%E9ments+%E9lectroniques.Anyone have any ideas ?Thank you, Larry Trudelle Toronto, Ontario, Canada ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
