Hi Jawed,

As long as the user has Hindi character set / keyboard support in their computer, I can think of no reason why they couldn't type it into any HTML form. What happens when you try to do it?

PS: Why do you spell "help" with so many p's? 8O

You should be able to do that as long as your database supports the right character set.

PS: Please use full English words for clarity, and not things like "wat", "chk", "u" or "rite" since it makes your posts much harder to read for everyone, which also makes you less likely to get help.
