[thelist] Boolean values in different language OSs and clients.

Another challenge for the order....

In VB or VBS, the word "True" is a key word that means
-1 the word false actually means 0

Now, we have a situation where the OS and the IE are
both foreign versions

So, then this is what happens.....

The IE client captures the fact that a boolean value
is false, then it says "ok, lets make this value, X =
False, but since it is in portuguese, it actually
makes x = "Falso".


Then our system's server side script says, What the
$%#@ is Falso!!?????

Or....a more technical explanation is it returns as an
"ERROR"

Same with True, (Verdadious)

We need a work around... we though maybe a client side
script which looks for:

IF x = "Falso" THEN X = "False" might do the trick..

Any thoughts? Any resources or a point in the right
direction for script resources?
