Thanks Michael
This is useful information. Unfortunately I usually need to use static HTML - so I can't use the ASP parts. It would be nice see something like this working on UTF-8 encoded web pages where lang is defined. In most cases knowing the text is a specific language and knowing the page is Unicode would let you know which script is being used.
I'd also like to figure out a way to trigger this kind of behavior in other browsers as well as in IE (using Java Script or Java rather than VB) as not quite everyone uses IE - (but I guess you are not going to give me any more clues on how to do that :-) )
regards

I haven't used M$ IE for many years, though, and my memory might be wrong.
Blinded by the misspelling of the product name, maybe? :-)
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/0700/localize/ and the section entitled "Choosing Character Sets" for info on what is going on here, particularly firgures 3 and 4 for info on how to script the behavior for the UTF-8 case....
