I've put together a small experiment to navigate flickr by tag and immediately see the photos using JSON and event delegation: http://icant.co.uk/sandbox/flickrdrillr/ The problem is that some tags like "geotagged" give me back non-western characters. The index.html and all is UTF-8 and should display them correctly. Alas it doesn't. The feed coming back from flickr seems to be ISO, but that should not be the issue, or? http://flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?tags=puppy&format=json Can anyone guess why it doesn't display correctly? Do I need to make an apache change? -- Chris Heilmann Book: http://www.beginningjavascript.com Blog: http://www.wait-till-i.com Writing: http://icant.co.uk/
