Hi, I'm setting up a table which will can be sorted by clicking on one of the headers, and I'd like to display the sort order (ascending or descending) by drawing a little arrow next to the column name. I thought about using an image, but of course it wouldn't scale with the text. Is there a good technique for drawing a text arrow in most browsers, which degrades nicely if it can't be displayed?
I found a page which shows some HTML entity codes, including the arrows, at http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/entities/symbols.html I tried ↑ and ↓ and they work great in Safari 1.2.1 and Firefox 0.9.1, but the page says browser support for those entities is generally very poor. I don't have a PC nearby to test with, and I have no idea what a screen reader would do. Am I out of luck?
