Edson, Hello folks, this a different kind of matter, i have some web pages under a web-server. My pages are displayed with strange characters, an encoding problem, this web-server is for public use and i don´t have administrator previlegies. Is there a way to make my HTML pages displays correctly whatoever is the server encoding? I just checked the headers served by a random page on my server, and this is one of 'em: Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 The Content-type header can optionally contain the description of the character set to use (as shown). If you don't have control over the server at all, and all you can do is change your own web pages, then consider using this meta tag: meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text;html; charset=ISO-8859-1 This generally directs browsers to use *your* specified content type instead of the one suggested by the server. Just replace the ISO-8859-1 with the character set appropriate for your content. Hope that helps, -chris - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My pages are displayed with strange characters, an encoding problem, this web-server is for public use and i don´t have administrator previlegies. Is there a way to make my HTML pages displays correctly whatoever is the server encoding? Do the pages have the correct encoding attribute in them? In your head/head section you should have something like: meta http-equiv=content-type content=text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 / Also it can't hurt to set your html lang setting to something like: html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; xml:lang=en lang=en Of course, this assumes you are using xhtml... Hope this helps. [OT] Also check in other browsers. I created a great looking site in IE that had extensive use of CSS. Under both Mozilla and Opera it looked terrible. -- Graham Reeds, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://omnieng.co.uk - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
