charset switching in input elements

[ewosch]

Hallo,
I have a form with russion description of input elements (using
utf-8),
to be typed in with a russion keyboard.
In the input elements should only latin-1 be possible.
Is there a way to to this (without keyboard switching to english or
german) ?
I tried
<input type="text" charset="ISO-8859-1" />

but this does't work.
thanks
ewosch

Another way, using Javascript: Detect each keystroke, examine
the character, and ignore it if it isn't 0-255.

For keyboard strokes:

<input type="text" onKeyPress="e = this.value"
onKeyUp="for (var i = 0; i < this.value.length; ++i) {
if (this.value.charCodeAt(i) > 255) {
this.value = e
break
}
}
">

MSIE-fans could add onPaste="return false" and onDrop="return
false" .
