Hi Ryan, Thanks for the help.
No the Euro character was not the problem. The problem was some spam checking that was going on in the application (implemented prior to me acquiring the project) which worked for English language but not for German. The answers were being saved to the database which is why I was not receiving an error. It was just flagging the answer as spam and not displaying it after the page refresh. Problem solved. Thanks again. On Feb 15, 3:25 pm, Ryan Schmidt <[email protected]> wrote: > On Feb 15, 2011, at 13:41, andrewperk wrote: > > > > > I'm trying to save a block of german text into my application.
