Hi All,

I'm seeing a number of error tickets generated in the guts of web2py 
stemming from a form.accepts() call.


     File "xxxx/web2py/gluon/html.py", line 856, in _traverse

    self._postprocessing()
  File "xxxxx/web2py/gluon/html.py", line 1774, in _postprocessing
    _value = str(self['_value'])
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2026' in position 
55: ordinal not in range(128)


The character in question appears to be a UTF-8 ellipsis (...).

I thought that this may have been a browser issue - but I think now it's 
just a web2py problem with text INPUTs containing
"interesting" characters - even in the values.  The generated HTML looks 
like:

<input id="word_name" type="text" value="<FONT FACE="Arial, serif"><FONT 
SIZE=2>as/so far as … is/are concerned</font></font>" name="name">

which seems to have two issues - the double quotes in the value are not 
escaped and the ellipsis (probably
ok HTML) is then going to generate the ticket I'm seeing at 
str(self['_value']).

David
