Hi Guys

First of all thanks for an amazin product.

Just one quick question. Is there any way for me to get a tick symbol as an extra special character? e.g. to indicate an item has been ticked on a page.

there is a symbol with code 251 but it must be hex and not standard ascii as it shows the ascii value instead!

You can edit the file popup_special_characters.asp and add in the new one as it only pastes HTML into the form.

You would need to find the HTML that creates this tick.

If it is only available in the Wingdings font then you would need to change to that font then display the character, it would also only work if the user had that font installed on their machine.
