If you do not have Dreamweaver, you can use accented characters in your web pages by using the ISO-8859 html codes. Use this table to find the special character that you want, and copy its code into your html.

For example, if you want to use the lowercase "o" with a slash in it, find the line that reads

Next to the ø there are two codes: one says ø and the other ø. These are the codes that you need to type in to your html. Either one is fine; they both do the same thing.

Unfortunately, this is significantly more complicated than making accented characters inside plain html. Use this form to find the accented character that you need. (Be sure you are looking at the whole form: it is very long.)

See the third entry, the F8? This is what you need to place between the % sign and the second single quote in the unescape() function inside your JavaScript applet. In this case, you would type unescape('%F8'). Somewhere inside your JavaScript, you will have a phrase, say I am a good cook, and you want to change it so that the program displays it as I am a good cøok.

IMPORTANT: If you make a mistake here, it will not work. This must be typed exactly as above. If it did not work for you, proofread your JavaScript and see if you made a mistake.

These codes are different on Macintosh, Windows, and UNIX computers. Something that looks fine on a Mac will look all silly on a Windows machine, and vice versa: so if you need to do this, be sure you make and test your JavaScript on the operating system on which it will be most used.
