Vaska, you¨re still mixing those:
I think you are mixing two things which should be separated.
The first problem is the language of the page (defined in the header)
The second problem is how to create a non-ascii character
He is right.
I've already identified that I will be using utf-8. And I've accepted
use of xml:lang/lang: in both the header and on the individual form
elements (as necessary) - what am I still mixing on this issue? Am I
missing something more obvious?
No, the browser will. It will send the characters in the encoding
(charset, not language!) of the page.
Thanks, I understand what's going on with this now. I was really just
curious how it was dealt with - I don't believe it changes anything on
the server-end (and didn't think it would).
You mention the use of Unicode...perhaps I'm way out there on this
point but am I not allowed to assume that the user will be using
unicode to input their data? I know it's a web browser, but is there
some way I can restrict their input to unicode (the page xml:lang that
is)? If they enter something else, it likely won't work. Perhaps this
is where I'm still 'mixing' things up?
