when is the dash used
Thanks guys!
And this is not a question, when I view the &#x2013; with Netscape on Solaris,
I can not see the correct dash but a question mark if I set character set as
UTF-8.
Both &#150; and &#8211; just work fine for character set ISO-8859-1
And I'm just wondering how many people really use UTF-8 for their browser.....
:-)

Yue
