sdozono: That's interesting. I have created several websites in Japanese but I always use UTF-8 and it comes out all right.
I just have to make sure that the <head> tags contain: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="JA" /> I had trouble before with garbage characteds in UTF-8 if I don't set the Content-Language tags. But after I set the Content-Language tag everythiing seems to work fine. I will try using SHIFT_JIS tomorrow and see what happens. Thanks everyone for your help.
