Hi listers,
On a forum (in romanian) I've noticed that the diachritics were missing.
So I thought that the page encoding is missing or is not properly
defined. To my surprise:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-2">
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
was present, but both Firefox and IE 6 seem to ignore it and switch to
the default western(ISO-8859-1). Of course, when I manually switch to
the proper encoding, the page displays just fine.
I know that I'm overlooking something obvious, but I can't put my finger
over it.
TIA,
Dan CRACIUN
