Can anyone help me with this problem. I'm trying to include the irish language on my webpage which has special characters like á ú ó If I write the page with these characters they are not understood by the browser (IE or Firefox) and appear as junk characters. I know that I can include code like Glór Cheatharlach and this will appear like Glór Cheatharlach But this is far too much work as the entire site needs these characters over and over again. I have looked at the source code of other irish language sites and they have the special characters straight there in the code with no stuff like ó and it displays in my browser perfectly. If I copy and paste that text into my html page it does not work and I get junk characters again. I really need to crack this one. Will you please look at the following site to see what I mean about the characters: www.glorcheatharlach.ie Take a look at the source code and see that the characters are written straight in and display fine except for when I do it in my pages. Thanks

Thanks for that reply JD*. I'll work on that and hopefully when I get started you can give me some more advice Cheers

Not sure what a CMS stands for. The typical admin tasks will be to retrieve records, change records, add site content, email users or groups of users etc. What about the admin password. What security can I attach to this?

I'm working on a website that will have user pages but will also have admin pages. I'm wondering how to set up the admin pages. I'm thinking about security here and I figure I have two choices: 1. Put admin pages on the hosting server and allow login by admin just like any other user 2. Allow the admin to login off the server (at home) and make changes then upload changes to the hosting server. What is the normal way this is done. I'm concerned about the security of having admin login directly on the server in case it is hacked. I am also concerned about the extra work for admin if login is off the server and they have to upload changes all the time. Can you advice me on this. It's just that the admin part of the site is so sensitive that I would'nt like the possibility of some unauthorised person getting access to it.
