>i need to know the character entity code for the { and } characters...
dude, remember that zdnet chart?
http://www.zdnet.com/devhead/resources/href/ascii.html
` - = [ ] \ ; * , . / ~ ! @ # $ % ^ ( ) _ + { } | : ? | " '
The characters above do not require encoding.
Cut and paste them at will.
so i suppose there are numeric entities for them (you look 'em up) but not
character entities
