Hello *, On my Website I have a NEWS section which I can edit On-Line over my Web-Interface but I have a problem with umlauts. I can enter the "ü" as "&uulm;" and it is saved as such and it works properly but, if I now want to re-edit the NEWS, it is schown as "ü" in the input field of the <TEXTAREA>. <grmpf> Is there a command/function which can convert a whole text that it is shown correctly with all "&...;" sequences?

your going about it all wrong. you should enter "ü", "ü" should be in the database and if your output encoding requires it "ü" should be entized (including in the textarea) to "&uulm;" when you output the content. you can hack your way roung it by double entitizing so that "&uulm;" becomes "&amp;uulm;" in the source (between <textarea> and </textarea> when the editor page is output. you'll probably have to use a nasty little regexp for that in order to avoid double entizing "&amp;" into "&amp;amp;" (hint: negative lookahead assertion)

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
