Convert from punycode to IDN on the fly

[mgrohan]

Is there any way to convert from punycode to IDN on the fly?

i.e. when the page loads to convert all xn-- domains to their unicode IDNs

Well of course if you are going to do anything on the fly, then you need a scripting language like php or perl.

There are php classes for punycode conversion. Most people store the punycodes in a database table then run them through the converter when loading the page, but you could just as easily use a text file full of punycodes for a "lightweight" solution.
