HTML encoding of fields

[Jeff Spall]

Hi, I've been using CDML for several years, but not Lasso and I now have to answer a question about a site that's hosted externally for one of our companies.

It's running Lasso/FMPro (sorry, don't know the versions yet) on NT and I think the problem is very simple:

When there are non-ascii characters in the database, like an acute accent, they are delivered to the web page as junk. If it were a FileMaker tag in CDML, I'd just get it to perform HTML encoding, and in fact a made a little demo using the same database to show this.

Doesn't Lasso work in the same way? the hosters are saying it's not easy to fix.

thanks, Jeff

Yeah it works like WebCompanion.

WC 4 = Lasso 1.2.

Which version of Lasso? I've just started with Lasso v. 6.

There are several encoding available.

Hi, thanks for that.

I though the two wouyld be very similar, but I wanted to be sure before I tackled the hosting guys!

regards, Jeff
