Hi Timo, I'm not sure, offhand, about BText handling of unicode characters. Christian, any ideas here? As far as the browsers, have you tried it in Netscape 6 and 7 or Mozilla? Have you tried it in Opera 6 or 7? If they work in those browsers, then you'll have your answer about Netscape 4 support for greek characters. I do think the problem is lack of browser support. I wish Netscape 4 would drop off the face of the earth. What a pain it is (was). You might want to check back with the Localize task. Actually, check out the BConfig app. Also, check out the latest CVS where the build is probably a bit simpler to understand. Hopefully we'll get a new release out sometime soon. The code is stable and it is mostly ready, but there are some things which may move around a bit before release, like moving the contrib webapp stuff out into their own modules.
