Re: Inserting special characters into text fields

That's client side, so it doesn't really matter what server-side scripting language you use. You could write a javascript script that inserts a value into a field: <script language=javascript> function insertval(field, value) { document.all(field).value = document.all(field).value + value; } </script> <input type=button onclick="javascript:insertoum('textvalue','&#246');" value="&#246;"> ... <input type=text name=textvalue> Note that this example, which places an o with umlaut (I'm using one of those English keyboards that don't have special characters and, since I'm of Italian origin, I never bothered to create the binding on my keyboard for umlauts) in a text field, probably won't work, since I'm doing this by memory and have probably left something out (I'm cooking our Thanksgiving dinner and I need a break!), but hopefully it should give enough of an idea to get going.
