this...and I want to stop it.

You really need to give us the URL of the page that this occurs on so others can test it.
It's on my dev server. If you really want to see a test page (where the images aren't working and alot of the css is totally in outerspace right now) it's here.

one thing that I've been cuious about is how do you deal with creating urls. this could sound extremely naive and i'm sorry for that. it's my understanding that use of latin1 characters only is allowed to make a url...or create folders etc...
For some reason, I feel I have to escape every character that is not a
letter or number.
I was feeling the same, and working on it, when this thread arrived.
At the time it appeared I was looking up numeric entity lists in
Cyrillic and adapting them to a conversion_map function (for PHP).
I'm not sure what the deal is, but when I bring up a page in my system it doesn't encode properly at first. I have to go the browser options and change it to utf-8. The funny thing is that utf-8 is my default as set in all my browsers.
This is my header...
!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD
Vaska, you¨re still mixing those:
I think you are mixing two things which should be separated.
The first problem is the language of the page (defined in the header)
The second problem is how to create a non-ascii character
He is right.
I've already identified that I will be using utf-8.
Am I allowed to ask about non-CSS things here?
In particular, I'm trying to deal with how to handle inputs of Chinese
characters via some forms. What I'm wondering is...
- will utf-8 suffice?
- do I need to specify html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml;
xml:lang='en' lang='en' as ZN? is
It's for a multilanguage site and base language will be English.
Everything on the form will be English except the actual input
(textarea). Would it hurt anything if I just kept the lang declaration
as EN in the header? Or, since the input will be Chinese should it be
ZN? Or, do I need to

Actually, because I can't really find a way to get by on the word-wrap

As far as I'm concerned, when you have a great long scrolling list (for

represent the ONLY way to do it.

ask dumb or redundant questions, but this one is really nagging.
Yes, but it's not the overflow of the div, it's the frame itself. The
page is going larger than the frame window - meaning, the divs aren't
respecting the size of the window. Sorry if my explanation was
confusing on that point.
