in reply to trouble with umlauts
I think Biker is on the best way by using the hex values. But, since i just finished a problem with this at work, i thought i would make one addition. Mine was not a CGI form,so this may not apply to you, but i found that windows installed as German, and Windows installed as English both have the ü character, but with diffrent hex values, which may make it difficult.
