mixed languages in a field: solved : )

Hi Curt,

Glad to help you.

To be perfectly sure about your code, you could check your html  
building precisely:
You put your html built by script (as html) in the message box.
You paste this html text in the html pane of the Encoded Text Picker,  
switch to "Usual text" and back to HTML.
Then you compare both HTMLs: they should be the same ones :-)
