Hi everyone :)

Our download page [1] has developed a display problem since the OpenOffice.org website was updated to the new, cool sty;e. I know that was a while ago, but I kept hoping I could fix this myself. I have run out of ideas. :(

Problem:

I'll upload our updated download page, and check it (it looks fine), then at some stage I'll go back there, or some aggrieved user will alert me, and the page now looks like a dog's dinner.

In fact, it looks like it's trying to display in ASCII, instead of UTF-8. Most Vietnamese characters are accented, many with combined diacritics, and our language requires UTF-8. Even in Latin-1, it looks very messy. It is completely unreadable unless it is in UTF-8.

We have, of course, specified UTF-8:
___
<title>OpenOffice Việt &mdash; Tải về</title>

<meta name="keywords" content=
"..(snipped)..">

<meta name="description" content=
"..(snipped)..">

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ooovi.css" title="viooo" />
___

The page used to have its own <head> section, but I removed that, hoping that somehow would fix this problem. Evidently, it didn't. :(

I've reuploaded the page, and now it looks fine. At some stage from this point, it will stop displaying correctly. I wonder if that's in response to some update procedure for the overall website.

Our separate CSS file only contains:
___
dl#searchbox {
display: none; }

dl#helptext {
display: none; }
___

Do you have any idea why this page stops displaying correctly?

(Another weird thing is that this problem doesn't happen with any other page on our site: and they all use the same template.)

Any help you can offer is very much appreciated. This page is essential for downloading testing builds, so having it unreadable is bad news, especially at this stage of the release process.
