[cobalt-users] Off-Topic Question about HTML code from CGI

["Ian" <ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

This is off-topic, so ignore it if not interested in questions of a non raq
subject.

I am using cgi scripts within my server that generates html files with
specific information within it, some of that information is in the form of
numerals with decimal places, i.e. 23.56 etc etc.

This decimal numerical info is used as referrals for other systems but the
problem is, even though the cgi script produces the correct information
exactly with the decimal point, however the underlying code is not a
decimal, rather the html code for a decimal point "." is used.

Is there anyone who knows how to force it so that the browser does not
convert the . into .

Thanks,

Ian
