[sw-l] Sign Puddle should be Unicode based please

[Stephen Slevinski]

Signuno,

I changed the header, so UTF-8 it is.  Not sure about the get vs post thing.
I'll have to look into that later.

Someday, I would like SignPuddle to use the local voiced language along with
the local signed language.  Right now it is English/ASL.  I'll do better
with Movement Writer.

Hello everyone,

When I tried to enter an accented letter in "name of
sign" I couldn't because only characters up to 255 are
allowed.  To be international one should:
* always use Unicode (utf-8)
* use method=post not method=get

So:

<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
<form action="/signpuddle/SGN-TW/addSign.php">
<table border>
<tr><td>Name of sign:</td><td><input size=50
name="sign" type="input" /></td></tr>

should better be:

<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;
charset=UTF-8">
<form action="/signpuddle/SGN-TW/addSign.php"
method="post">
<table border>
<tr><td>Name of sign:</td><td><input size=50
name="sign" type="input" /></td></tr>

This will also effect how things are stored in the
dtabase, so be careful.  It would be best to get this
right now because later would be more difficult.

Also, you might want to translate "Name of Sign" into
the local languages.


Good luck with this stunning piece of work!
"Signuno".
