I'm developing an internet application for user to input multi-lingual data.
It works fine using internet explorer
5.x and above. However, it does not work for Netscape even for version 6.x.
1. All my web pages are set the charset to UTF-8.
<head>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
...
</head>
2. My database is set to accept UTF-8 or Unicode characters.
3. My browser encoding selects UTF-8.
IE 5.x: View > Encoding > Auto-Select or Unicode (UTF-8).
Netscape 6.x: View > Character Coding > Auto-Detect > Auto-Detect (All) or
Unicode (UTF-8).
Problem description (in netscape):
When I retrieved data (in format such as α - my non-english data is
stored in the database in this
form) from my database and displayed in a page - they displayed correctly. I
proceeded to edit some fields,
leaving other fields as they were (even for multi-lingual data). When I posted
the data, and navigate to the
next page, the non-english fields appeared as '?'. I'd spent days trying to
figure out the problem, but to no
avail. I'm really at my wit- end and really need any help you can offer.
I'd got to know your email address while surfing the net for solution and saw
your articles on the net. Hope
that you really can help.
Thanks,
Geok Hu
