How will you remove special characters from a text? What if my user just copies the text from a web page and then pastes it on a text area? Will special characters/invisible html tags get copied also? If so, how do you remove these special characters/invisible html tags?

Html Special Characters
I am having problems with special characters with database calls (if I'm referring to this in the right way). the problem is with apostrophes of all things. If an end user puts an apostrophe in something ASP will interprete it as a delimiter. This is aggravating because I'm trying to make this as simple for the end user as possible and if they can't place something in a simple text field like "Joe's Bar" (which comes out as "Joe") then I have a problem because I don't have a solution for this. It appears that this " ´ " is not quite the same as " ' " and I don't see a special character for apostrophes either.

Prerequisites For Special Characters
I was curious as to what kind needs to be done in order for special characters to be inputted into the database. I think using these characters in an input box don't work well when transferring with SQL. So when people are writing use something like ' an error comes up.

Special Characters And Posting Form
When I post a string containing special characters (& #145, & #146, & #147, etc. for single and double quotes -- spaces added so they display correctly) through a form and write the contents on the next page via Request.Form, my special characters have been replaced with the characters they represent. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, and more importantly, how to avoid it?

Special Characters Appearing Correctly In Email
I have a form that is being sent using CDONTS. The problem is the form I'm sending has a lot of special characters (it's in Spanish) and while I know how to get the chars to display correctly on the page, they're not showing up correctly in the email. They either show up like this: Country : Canad�; or if I encode them, like this: Country : Canadá How can I get the email to display the correct character Country : Canadá I'm fairly new to ASP (I'm a PHP programmer) and have no clue how to do it. I've noticed that the email is not set to encode in any special way like the equivalent for PHP......

Regular Expression :: Allow Spaces And Special Characters
I'm trying to validate several fields using regular expressions and not sure how to allow spaces and special characters within the expression. One field is for an address: ^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$ how can I allow spaces and special characters like a comma, number sign and periods. So, if some entered an address with a suite number or p.o. box where commas, periods and number signs can be used it would validate correctly. Right now, the expression is only checking for alfanumeric characters. Another example is for validating a city field ^[a-zA-Z]+$ I need to allow spaces...i.e. San Diego, New York

Special Font Display
Im building an online shopping cart in ASP where users will place orders for various printed materials. I need to have them build their product online from templates. Basically they will fill out a small form selecting the product style, Font and color to be printed in and the text they want printed. Im trying to figure out a way to display a preview of what they are buying but the problem is the fonts that are offered. These are not web-safe fonts nor are they that common a font at all. The fonts I need to support are: Achen, Apex, Apex Condensed, Franklin Condensed, Gothic Fine Black, MisterEarl, Township, Township Thin, and Quixley. Is there some component available that would allow me to pass a color, font and text to it and would generate a preview image on the fly?

Displaying Special Characters's Code
I have a table that contains a chunk of text, and the text commonly has special characters, such as "&" or "–". To edit this text, there is a page where the text is dumped into a textarea. However, IE interprets the special characters, instead of their values. How can I have it so that when the text from the database is displayed inside a textbox, IE does not display the characters but instead their values?

Returning Only 255 Characters
I have a MS SQL 7.0 table with a large field (> 500 characters). My select statement embedded in my ASP file in an intranet web interface only returns 255 characters. If I run the select statement in Query Analyzer, I can easily change the "Maximum Characters per Column" setting to return the entire field, but that doesn't help me in my ASP web interface. How do I return the entire field through ASP?
