Re: High Ascii chars

rm: Yes, we have this problem with clients submitting stories, or some such, by cutting and pasting from word processors. You can get around it by using javascript to check the text on exit from the form field, and then either replace the high ASCII with "?" or strip it out, as appropriate. This is "better" too, for performance, as the javascript will warn and block on the client side, avoiding a round trip. _jef --------------- rm wrote: > > php3.x > > We have a large number of people submitting a large > number of docs...I'm having a problem with some docs > coming through with high ascii characters in the text, > apparently the dbm database we're using chokes on some > high ascii chars.
