Do your Chinese texts coded in unicode? If it was created in GB, you need to convert to unicode. For a multilanguage site, even it's set to UTF-8, your visitors still can't see the Chinese or other languages if they don't have that language' fonts installed. For the main page with link to Chinese, you may want to make the Chinese text to graphic. Browsers automatically detect the Charset. If your Chinese text doesn't work, chances are, it's not properly coded. You can see my Chinese page in Unicode, when mouse over, the Chinese texts in 'title' or 'alt' display beautifully except in Mac' IE 5.2 which never able to show Chinese texts in html tags. http://www.lotusseeds.com/traditional.html http://www.lotusseeds.com/simplified.html > HTH tee ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
