WEBVTT 0 00:06.800 --> 00:09.110 All right, I just want to take a step back. 1 00:09.230 --> 00:11.470 I don't want you to get lost in all the detail. 2 00:11.480 --> 00:13.060 I don't want you to feel overwhelmed. 3 00:13.400 --> 00:14.600 Just remember what we've done... 4 00:14.600 --> 00:22.040 all we're doing, is we are telling the browser how to convert all the user input in the form, into binary 5 00:22.310 --> 00:22.740 code. 6 00:23.470 --> 00:26.510 Remember, a computer can only understand electrical impulses. 7 00:27.040 --> 00:31.490 As human beings, we just convert those electrical impulses to 1s and 0s. 8 00:31.820 --> 00:34.620 If there is an electrical impulse, we say it's a 1... 9 00:34.730 --> 00:36.720 and if there's nothing, we say it's a 0. 10 00:36.950 --> 00:42.050 So everything the computer understands has to be a combination of these 1s and 0s, these electrical... 11 00:42.050 --> 00:42.470 inputs. 12 00:42.620 --> 00:48.350 And with the accept-charset attribute, you have the power as the developer to define what characters... 13 00:48.350 --> 00:50.400 you want your users to write in your form. 14 00:50.780 --> 00:56.090 For example, if you don't want them to write Chinese or emojis, why not then include an accept-charset... 15 00:56.090 --> 00:58.280 attribute of ASCII... 16 00:58.280 --> 01:04.140 because we know ASCII does not recognize certain or many characters. So that's just an example. 17 01:04.160 --> 01:05.050 So there you have it. 18 01:05.060 --> 01:06.610 Just don't get lost in what we are doing. 19 01:06.620 --> 01:13.250 I know we've gone into a lot of detail on ISO, ASCII, UTF, but really all I'm trying to get across is that... 20 01:13.250 --> 01:19.470 you as a developer have a lot of power to define the characters that you want to accept on your form. 21 01:19.850 --> 01:23.690 Most of the time it really doesn't matter because you and I don't care what characters are submitted... 22 01:23.690 --> 01:24.190 in the form. 23 01:24.440 --> 01:29.600 And as we've seen, if we just leave it, the UTF-8 accept-charset attribute is the default. 24 01:29.900 --> 01:32.510 "So Clyde, why have you then given us all this detail?" 25 01:33.020 --> 01:33.470 I don't know. 26 01:33.620 --> 01:35.900 Maybe it's just another feather feather 𓆰 in your cap 🧢. 27 01:37.730 --> 01:38.960 Feather. Cap. 28 01:42.960 --> 01:47.490 So, hope you're learning a lot. I just wanted to quickly take a step back, because I know it can't seem... 29 01:47.490 --> 01:52.230 intimidating with all this, you know, character encoding types. But really, most of the time it doesn't 30 01:52.230 --> 01:52.520 matter. 31 01:52.530 --> 01:55.890 But you should be patting yourself on the back, because most developers don't even know this kind of 32 01:55.890 --> 01:56.160 stuff. 33 01:56.550 --> 01:59.730 So you really are going to be leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else. 34 02:00.420 --> 02:02.490 Without further ado, let's go on to the next lecture.
