Hi Ivan, you may want to try out the modifier url_quote eg: <dtml-var arbitrary_greek_text url_quote> HTH Tino Wildenhain Ivan Mackintosh wrote:

Hi,

What I want to do is to allow users to be able to enter greek/mathematical symbols into a textbox. I have managed to do this but get the following problem -

In the first dtml method the user clicks on a symbol button and that symbol is entered into the textbox. They then click on a submit button and the next dtml method is displayed.

This method simply does a <dtml-var REQUEST> so that I can see the value of the previous textbox. The symbol has changed!

On the first method I enter a lower case delta symbol and in the second I can see an 'a' with dots above it.

If I change my code so that instead of inserting a symbol into the textbox it inserts the code δ then when I get to the second dtml method the correct symbol is displayed. This is not very user friendly though.

Is there somekind of encoding variable set in Zope? as if I do the same code in straight html then it works fine.

Regards, Ivan
