When I display pages like this one: http://www.jsoftware.com/help/primer/word_formation.htm
in either Firefox 3.0 or IE7 it tries to display the page using UTF8 and the characters used as the vertical lines for boxes do not display correctly. Interestingly opening the local version of such a page: file:///C:/Program%20Files/j602/help/primer/word_formation.htm uses the ISO-8859-1 encoding and displays fine. The issue seems to be the use of the | character rather than | to display the vertical lines. I notice that Learning J and the dictionary use | to represent vertical lines and there is no problem. E.g. http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/samp05.htm Assuming that this browser behaviour is not unique to me two possible solutions might be: 0) Replace the use of | with | to represent vertical lines on all web pages. 1) Add the following declaration to the <head> of each page: <meta content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"/> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
