Why does html entities function not properly work?


I tried the htmlentities() function with PHP 5 with this code:
<?php
 $string="Einstürzende Neubauten"; echo htmlentities($string);
?>
And it only displays two whitespaces (i.e. " "). Why is that? I tried to replace the "u with diaeresis" char with another and it works. How can i get that work too?




Anwer

use charset for your given content to .... eg
 $res = htmlentities ( $string, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');
For more informations take a look in the manual htmlentities()

Positioning a div within a div


 Qusetion

I have the following div table:

<div style="display:table">
  <div style="display:table-row">
    <div style="display:table-cell">
      <div id="innerDiv"></div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
Inside the cell is a div with the id "innerDiv". Is there a way to position this div such that its top/left corner is located anywhere within the cell? I tried all the css position values but none work.



Answer

position: absolute; and position: relative; is what's required
html
<div style="display:table">
  <div style="display:table-row">
    <div class="cell" style="display:table-cell">
      <div id="innerDiv"></div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
CSS
.cell {
    position: relative;
}
#innerDiv {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
}
