AG: And what would be the uppercase for that? The Registered Trademark symbol is static. My understanding is that "special" characters (same as all characters) are single values (HEX or DEC) representations of glyphs -- exactly like code-points in the Unicode database. There are no upper/lower case values for any single character. However, with that said, in ASCII, an "a" is HEX 061 and an "A" is HEX 041. Changing case simply means changing the value of the character with another -- in other words, character replacement. This works great in ASCII because that's the way our language was designed, but not so in other languages -- not all languages have upper/lower case equivalents. So, using : text-transform: uppercase; on other than ASCII characters is at least problematic and may not even be possible, but I'll defer that assertion to someone who knows better than I. tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
