I regularly use DreamWeaver now, which always inserts entities irrespective of the charset, but on occasions I enter accented characters directly in the source code. They show well in Windows, but sometimes fail either in Mac clients or from the the server. I've done tests of this topic several times and never could come to a clear conclusion, only that entities are safer in the html source; in form elements and in javascript-generated content I still have doubts. I've had this problem before with other pages, and I suspect that it depends on the web server; it was fixed after changing to entities. My assumption is that somehow some servers seem to impose UTF8 over the page-specified iso-8859-1 charset. Or at least that's the only explanation I can think of. (The uah.es server seems to do it right, but others don't.) > I also tried setting the file to the UTF-8 character set. That > doesn't seem to help. It also doesn't seem to disrupt the > javascript.

Still, when the user will type a custom page title with accents into the Export to Web dialog, the title may come out wrong in the browser (or it will depend on the server). So, let's set it for the use of entities as the better solution. I have documented all this into http://wiki.jmol.org:81/index.php/Internationalisation I still have a doubt: does the original version, trans test es 2.html look also wrong for you when read it from local disk?
