Greek Characters 3

[coldfused]

Anyone know of a good resource for Greek Character HTML code?

Any recommendations for cross platform compatibility? Mozilla Firefox has issues as well as Netscape with things that work in IE.

Very frustrating. How do you guys deal with Greek Characters?

You can use HTML character entity codes to obtain cross-browser, cross-O/S Greek characters:

Hope this helps,

Good lord...

I think my head just exploded. Do you understand what or how to use that information?

Thanks for the link but how do you use them?

Easy - let's say you want a Greek capital letter alpha (the second item in the list), you would use Α in your code, for example:

<p>The following is a Greek letter alpha: &#913;</p>

Hope this helps,

Yeh I got that after I looked back into yesterday. The only problem now is trying to figure out the name for the symbol your looking for.

If you're a Windows user, run up charmap. It tells you the names for most characters.

See Dan that's the thing is I use charmap for most everything but there are certain characters that it doesnt have that I dont know the names too.

For example I was working on a site (re-design) that uses creek characters to display some technical info for their laser products.

Some of the characters they used are not in charmap.

All good though after alot of searching I found them all finally.

Thanks again,
Carl
