I don't know what you mean here. Why it doesn't work in Notepad? Note that on Windows XP, you can't type ZWNJ inside the Find/Replace dialog box - you need to copy/paste it from inside the Notepad text editor window. Another reason why not to use Notepad. > Then, since you recommended Frontpage, I tried that. Earlier, it had > not even occured to me to attempt to open a .js file in Frontpage > (version > 2000.)

BTW, FrontPage 2003 can open the .js file (using File | Open, or drag and drop) and render the UTF-8 characters without converting them to numeric entities just fine. Don't try putting them in an HTML file. Don't know about FrontPage 2000, though. > I think I'm not going to use Notepad for making bidirectional arrays > from now on! That is insane to go to such great lengths! Yeah, it's definitely so. > Not sure what you have in mind here, but at this point, I"ll be glad > just to make it work with ZWNJ. In the JS code, try to replace the trailing ZWNJ-raa and ZWNJ-o with nothing using a regex.
