Post #200,500 by Arkadiy 3/25/05 3:10:53 PM Reply	If you want to make your display useful you need to show the number "ready for dialing". That, of course, means prepending location-specific "9", "1" or "011"(?) code. And ommiting area code for local calls that must have it ommitted. Or, for some reports, you'd have to show it in the most generic format, as in +(country)-(area)-(phone) What I am trying to say, you need to support a whole lot of ways to render the phone if you really want to do it right. And storing it as a bunch of digits will probably not work. -- And what are we doing when the two most powerful nations on earth -- America and Israel -- stomp on the elementary rights of human beings? -- letter to the editor from W.

Perhaps more getter methods for display only. What I am trying to say, you need to support a whole lot of ways to render the phone if you really want to do it right. And storing it as a bunch of digits will probably not work. So....How would you store it, then? -YendorMike "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania

Maybe you have to assume some level of user knowledge - (drewk) - (2) - March 26, 2005, 11:50:25 AM EST
