John Coppens [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message The page is started with html lang=es, according to rfc3066. John I am not sure this applies to your problem. The language is not the same as the character set. There are several character sets which can represent many European languages, and most European languages share the same character set. Frontpage puts a language meta tag which is just for the purpose of the spellchecker. In a browser it might help a speech synthetizer to use the proper pronuntiation rules. One think I can tell you for sure because I just checked is that Microsoft does not list 'lang' as an atribute for the html tag, so I wouldn't expect Internet Explorer to care about it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/html.asp?frame=true I think that what you are looking for is to define the character set, as I mentioned in a previous reply.

Apparently this is a specific problem with Mozilla. I tried with Firefox, Opera and Dillo, and didn't have any problem. I've traced the HTTP exchange over the 'net, and the HTML code is served correctly. It's the browser that gets confused. I've filed a bug report on bugzilla...

I like it, you complain about Microsoft ignoring standards, but your problem is with Mozilla, and you still have not told us whether you have tried the most obvious, which is indicating the character set has worked for you. How about just trying? And, by the way, my native language does use many characters with diacritical marks so you might as well take some little advice from someone who has done it before you.
