Hi Guys

Are there any characters that cannot be used in html tag attributes, (apart from the id/name)? E.g. Could I use the unicode for japanese symbols in a title att? I have been testing this with european characters but I was wondering if there is a definitive list that says what can and can't be used.
 
Hi jm99,

I dont know of any but try searching for it at they go over that sort of stuff!

Heineken is like making love in a cano... it's f*cking close to water !!!
 
Thanks for the response. I tried w3c and think that the spec says that only a sub-set of ASCII can be used. However, I've been sticking all manner of values into the title attribute and IE 5/5.5 appears to have no problem with them. I guess that I'll just have to accept the reality of what is supported rather than what is notionally supported ;->

p.s. Heineken is a fine beer as long as you're not drinking the pish served-up in the UK
