This is something i havent had to deal with before - might seem strange to you Americans, but I have to figure out how to handle a client who wants teh double quote symbol to represent inches. He's a car parts retailer, and sells shock absorbers that are known to his market by inches not centimetres. He doesnt want to represent a 12 inch shock as <quote> 12in throw</quote> he wants to use the double quote symbol.
However the quote symbol is seen by the form as teh end of the field when he wants to update his database on line, so the form has to be given 12" not 12". I either have to make sure there are no double quote symbols in teh database, or put a replace() somewhere before the variable goes to the form html. Here's my question. do you store 12" in the database, or 12" Does it matter?
