Re: Witango-Talk: Unicode and WiTango Problem

[Ed Edgar (mailing lists)]

Dave,

A couple of thoughts:

1. It would be good to confirm whether
   a) Bad data is being sent to the browser
       or
   b) The wrong headers are being sent to the browser, so the browser is 
just displaying it wrong.
       (By default WiTango tells the browser that the content is 
ISO-8859-1. However, it you have a meta tag the browser should normally use 
that instead.)
       If you look under View->Encoding in IE, is UTF-8 checked, or something else?
       Also, If you look at the source code raw, does it contain the same 
garbage as is displayed in the browser window?

2. If it's (a), which it probably is, it could well be going wrong before 
it even gets to WiTango.
     I assume you're using ODBC, right?
     Have a play around with the options in your ODBC data source setup. I 
seem to recall there's one for character encoding translation, which has be 
checked or unchecked or something..

Good luck,

Ed Edgar
