Also note that mixing ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 in html pages,javascript pages and css pages is bad. Internet explorer assumes for example that if the html page is UTF-8 that all javascript pages referenced from that page are also UTF-8. The key do successfully mix different character set is to always set the charset when referencing other text files, for example:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="my_css.css" charset="ISO-8859-1"> <script language="JavaScript" src="my_javascript.js" charset="ISO-8859-1"></script> If your application uses international character sest it is best to use UTF-8 consistently throughout your web application. Perhaps if you could post the head of the the html generated that is giving you the error. We could see what is wrong. - Kristjan "Bill Barker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 20.12.2002 06:22:31: > Kristjan's response is the best that I've seen so far on this thread. > Assuming that you are using Tomcat 4.x, you can also set <%@page > pageEncoding="UTF-8" %> (of course, s/UTF-8/<my-encoding>/ as needed).
