Internationalizing CGI Scripts

Imug Events (Presentation) - February 17, 2000, Andrea Vine (Sun Microsystems, Inc.) HTML has character set limitations which require planning and workarounds to produce a properly internationalized interface. Designers must consider that the server has limited knowledge of client preferences, and so must provide explicit information from the user interface. Learn about CGI strengths and weaknesses, problem areas in HTML, and ways to work around the quirks of a Web interface.
