Hi Jukka

Thank you *very* much for the reply - that all makes good sense.

I'm not entirely sure why the client wants people to enter data in
English and read in Arabic. They've got several questionnaire
applications and they've had those developed in a similar way.

The accept-charset looks interesting, although I do believe that it
will screw things up. I bet it doesn't even convert between encodings,
and just sticks question marks in where a character code doesn't fit?

But yes, based on what you've said it does seem that the server side
checking would be the only "real" way of seeing if input is typed in
the correct character set at least. I think I can avoid this though,
and convince the cleint to handle this by just *asking* users to enter
details in English, we'll see!

Where do you get your HTML knowledge from, I could do with reading up
a bit more :)

Thanks

Tobin
