Re: autoencoding issue

Hi, the meta charset tags don't work.

I've found that this works for jsp:
%@ page contentType=text/html; charset=gb2312 %
Change gb2312 to Big5 if u need it.

Regards.

 I'm using Tomcat 3.2.3, and I tried serving chinese (bg, 
 big5) using jsp
 and whenever someone views my pages, their browser's (IE 5, 
 Netscape 4.7) 
 autodetect for character encoding won't work, and they have 
 to manually
 switch the language to see the words.
 
 If one saves the file from the browser, auto-detect works fine.
 
 Any idea how I can resolve this?


It may help to define the meta charset 
( http://www.drclue.net/F1.cgi/HTML/META/META.html )
I haven't done this myself but give it a try.

autoencoding issue

[eboo]

Hi all,
This has probably been asked before, but I can't find any info on it.

I'm using Tomcat 3.2.3, and I tried serving chinese (bg, big5) using jsp
and whenever someone views my pages, their browser's (IE 5, Netscape 4.7) 
autodetect for character encoding won't work, and they have to manually
switch the language to see the words.

If one saves the file from the browser, auto-detect works fine.

Any idea how I can resolve this?

Thanks.
