Dear List,

I am having unexpected results when setting the encoding of my
inputForm.jsp, to iso-8859-15 (changing from
iso-8859-15 to iso-8859-1 will allow me to use the Euro symbol and a few
others). When i give a Euro symbol into a form input control, the client
ends up saving a question-mark instead, which is exactly what happens then I
leave the standard iso-8859-1 encoding(the jsp default). I am using Tomcat 5
and Internet Explorer 6.x which supports charset=iso-8859-15.

Here is my jsp page header attributes.

<%@ page language="java" errorPage="myErrorPage.jsp"
pageEncoding="iso-8859-15" contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-15"%>

If by setting the above jsp attributes, do I still need to set (inside the
<html><head> tag) like this ?

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-15"/>

Another factor which might be affecting the encoding of my input form, is
that its a page within a frameset, and it could be that the parent frame
HTML page might be incorrectly pre-determining the encoding of the whole
frameset overriding the child frame settings.


kind regards,
Ben Bookey
