generally such situations are solved using a SlugField.. which is a textfield that can only contain alphanumeric characters + the minus-sign i think. so with those there are no url problems. now back to your problem. generally, having non-ascii characters in the URLs is problematic. usually if they are in utf8, there's a chance that they will be displayed. but then it also depends on the browser, for example firefox (intentionally) does not display them correctly... so i would recommend you to use a SlugField, if possible. if it's not possible, and my advice did not help, please describe to us: - the charset you use in the URL - which browser - an actual example (an url that exhibits the problem) gabor --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
