i'm developing a bilingual site which is in french as well as in english. I would like to know if there is a way to display accents in French. I mean those charcters which have a / on top of the alphabets. Is it possible to do this in HTML or Javascript. Please help.

One way to do it is to hold down the alt key, then type in an ascii code on the number pad. For instance, alt+130 gives you this letter: é
You probably would need an ascii table in front of you.
Or, you could do it with microsoft word or something else, then copy the text over

Programmatically there are at least three ways to do it...
has all the unicode characters and you should be able to find the ASCII codes quite easily.

Code:
<html>
<body>
<script language="javascript">
document.write("Unicode Method 1: \u00E8");
document.write("<br><br>");
document.write("Unicode Method 2: " + unescape("\u00E8"));
document.write("<br><br>");
document.write("ASCII Code Method: " + unescape("%E8"));
</script>
</body>
</html>has all the unicode characters and you should be able to find the ASCII codes quite easily.

and, don't forget the 4th method, the html code for special chars, for example &eacute for é and so on - this is the easiest and most used method here in france where we need those *ù^$^accents
references are easy to find anywhere ont the web
and anyway most of the editors automatically replace those with the proper code
what's more, almost every browser display correctly those chars, no need to replace them with the special code !
