Ok, well the problem is not that great, I have corrected two files in two
months, which is nothing. If theres nothing to do, its not the end of the
world.
Strange though, that the browser accept ä and ö but not å.
I suppose its because a large number of european users are German, while
theres too less of the old Swedes, thats why å was not implemented.
Nothing to do, and its not a big problem anyhow. Over and Out.- Dan
