Hrm, there appears to be a bug with Camino here, because that page should work with the encoding that was specified in their <meta> tag, yet instead it doesn't seem to select any encoding from the text encoding menu. Here is their <meta> tag: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"> I grabbed the headers of the request when I visited: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2004 14:18:57 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) ApacheJServ/1.1.2 P3P: CP="NOI DSP CURa ADMa DEVa PSAa PSDa OUR IND UNI",policyref="http://www.kelkoo.co.uk/w3c/p3p.xml"; Set-Cookie: JServSessionIduk=uuaebhx7s1.COU2uk; domain=.kelkoo.co.uk; path=/ Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html While there is no content type specified in the Content-Type header, Camino should be reading the header correctly from the HTML, which is also specified correctly. Doing a test of the same thing on my machine: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2004 14:20:17 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.29 (Darwin) PHP/4.3.4 Last-Modified: Fri, 24 Sep 2004 14:11:08 GMT ETag: "1ee3e0-f4-41542afc" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 244 Content-Type: text/html <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"> </head> <body> <b>�32.99</b> </body> </html> This code works just fine (Pound symbol comes up, and the encoding is checked correctly in Camino), so there is some order of events on the other page that is getting in the way (maybe one of the linked files is setting the content type weirdly, which should have no affect on the parent page encoding). Anyway, appears to be a bug, but I can't see where it's stemming from :/ Adam. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Adam Randall http://www.xaren.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM/iChat: blitz574 [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Macintosh users are a special case.
