Hi,The problem is that the data is stored in the database left justifed for English and right justified for Hebrew.Yes, English data is not padded on the right on arrivla at the CGI program...but that does not matter as when it is moved to the database field it is still left justified.But when I move Hebrew data from the cgi program, not padded on the left, into the database, it ends up left justified...which is wrong.I would prefer the browser, having identified the field as Hebrew somehow (attribue/element), to say...hang on this is Hebrew data, I'd better pass it right justiifed (left padded) to the CGI program.Otherwise, I will have to identify and handle Hebrew data going to the backend differently as to English data.BTW - the Hebrew data must be right justified in the database as other applications use it .Cheers,Simon.
