This domain name should work on all browsers save old versions of IE (which has some benefits... j/k).
I have been using a domain with non-ascii characters for a while... and have had no problems. Of course, I wouldn't rely on the internationalized domain name for everything I do on the Internet. Even in the newer IE, the address bar will turn pink when browsing domain names with 'weird' characters (as defined by a user-configurable list of acceptable language/character sets). I think that the étoilé.com domain name is very cool regardless. Cheers On Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 9:00 AM, Nicolas Roard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 2:32 PM, Chris B.
