Hi Rick, Yes my data comes from different locales I should say it's a legacy data. I have no ability co convert it to UTF-8 right now.
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=..."); mess up the not UTF-8 output, I'm getting ???s instead of a valid data. I think I'll go with request.setCharacterEncoding(encoding); Crossing my fingers... Mark. --- Rick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Mark, > Can you talk a little about what the data is..
