Hi all, I posted a question a couple of days ago regarding a web app I have wherein users are able to indicated prices and concessions via a text field, and the resulting encoding issues I have experienced, the main one being seeing the pound sign as £ if viewing the results in a browser with the encoding set to Latin-1. My question is, how do I overcome this. If I set my browser encoding to Latin-1 and enter the data I get that odd symbol, if I set it to UTF-8 I get clean data. Is there a way to sniff out what encoding the browser is using and then clean the data in any way. I am googling for help also but you guys have been so helpful in the past I thought I'd try you also. -- http://www.web-buddha.co.uk
