hi Gabriel, i was having a similar proble a few months ago with big5 characters now it works properly and perfectly. first of all, my experience is that it depends on OS's default charset. my configuration is like this: at the top of the page i set charset with: <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=Big5"%> and also a the header part of the html code i have this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=big5"> these two together sets the charset correctly, one for the dynamic characters, and the other for the static html characters. hope this helps cheers :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ing.
