Nope. Numeric entities between 128 and 159 are explicitly undefined. It won't show as TM in (AFAIK) any non-Windows browser unless you have configured windows-emulation. Any RiscOS folks around? AIUI RiscOS has its own meanings for these undefined entities, and they are *different* from the Windoze-proprietary characters, so RiscOS users can expect to see something altogether different again.
two forms: The syntax "&#D;", where D is a decimal number, refers to the ISO 10646 decimal character number D.
Yep. So look it up in a Unicode table. There is another option. Although ™ is always wrong, a byte having the value 153 is perfectly valid if you declare a character encoding that defines it. So the byte (but still not the bogus entity reference) would be valid if you declare your Content-Type as "text/html; charset=windows-1252". -- Nick Kew -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
