Hmmm, I think I'd caution against that approach - that'll only work if (a) the characters in your string are from the "ASCII" range and (b) the wide chars you get are actually 16-bit. If any of your characters actually require a value outside the ASCII range the MS-byte won't be "null" in that case and odd things will happen... You really need to check if the "upper" byte is non-zero and process it "properly" if it is (although discarding it, if it is zero, is a "valid" hack in many cases.) I'm surprised they were 16-bit actually, I've never checked specifically, but I thought firefox was using either UTF-8 (which *would* look like straight ASCII in this case) or UCS-4 (which would look like 32-bits) on my machines. Greg, do you have your locale set fot utf-8 or...?
