Hello all, I hope this is the correct newsgroup for this question.
Does anybody know how I can write a html-header with python(cgi)? The problem is, I have a few html templates in which I have a header e.g: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> In this template I write a few Mysql variables. Those variable often have german characters. This characters (Gösing in stead of Gösing). The german characters in the html template are shown correctly. If I change the character encoding with the browser to utf-8, all the characters are shown correctly. As you can see, I put in the header of the html template that the encoding is UTF-8, the browser still shows windows ISO-8859-15. Can I write the header with python so the browser uses the utf-8 encoding? My hosting providor uses fedora core 2, Python 2.2.3, MySQLdb. Mysql 3.23.58 I googled for hours, but I can't find the answer. I hope ypu can help me. Thanks in advance. Arjen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
