[PHP] bookmarking with a trademark sign in title
Hi all, This might be slightly OT but it is related to a PHP project. I have a link on the site Im developing to bookmark the site. The title is XYZ company™ but when the add bookmark window comes up for saving the bookmark, I cannot see the ™ sign. Does anyone have any idea of how to get this site to be saved with the name of the company? TIA.

Re: [PHP] bookmarking with a trademark sign in title
The problem usually is that many of the 'things' surrounding the main window of the browser do not understand HTML and its special characters. The favorites or history lists are often one of them. Most have solved the rendering of the title but not all. If your target is mainly Windows clients, the best option is using iso-8859-1 as the character set and use the native windows trademark symbol. In that way, your browser main window will understand it as per the character encoding, and windows itself will also understand it for the rest of the controls where the internal windows character set is used.

(Day One only had copy;) That said -- it may not be allowed in the Bookmarks by the browser. Only the browser maker could change that. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
