Which of course means that a browser may have issues while still dealing okay with UTF-16 if the correct headers are sent. The interesting thing here as regards to the original concern that UTF-16 wasn't in the list of user-selectable encodings is that IE6 on Windows dealt with the page correctly, and looking at the encoding list there was a greyed-out encoding selected that isn't normally in the list for UTF-16 (actually it referred to it as "Unicode" and "Unicode (Big Endian)" depending on which of the two pages I viewed. -- Jon Hanna <http://www.hackcraft.net/> *Thought provoking quote goes here*
