justsomeguy Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Are the accented characters part of the ISO-8859-1 encoding? Are you not seeing the characters in your text editor, or you do see them in the editor but not in the browser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you not seeing the characters in your text editor, or you do see them in the editor but not in the browser?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks for answering.The charaters are part of the 8850-1 set.I can't see them in the browser (Firefox on Ubuntu Linux) Thanks again.

justsomeguy Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I don't know if that was a typo, but it is the 8859-1 charset you specified. What characters are they? And just to clarify, you see the characters in your text editor, but you don't see them in the browser, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gawain Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Thanks for replying.I don't know if that was a typo, but it is the 8859-1 charset you specified. What characters are they? Yes, I did. I specified the iso 8859-1 charset.Characters such as: è, à, òAnd just to clarify, you see the characters in your text editor, but you don't see them in the browser, correct?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's corret. I can't see the accented characters in the browser. Bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Well, the first thing to do would be to check other browsers. If you have a machine running Windows, give it a shot with IE or Firefox for Windows and see if you see the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 If all of those browsers are on the same machine, it might have something to do with the machine itself. Is there an online version that people can test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there an online version that people can test?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Eventually, I got something.<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="it"><head> <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="content-type" />1) With this code I can't see the accented characters with Firefox, but I can see them with Opera.2) Then, I rewrote everything - using the same tags - with NVU, instead of QUanta, and the accented characters are seen both in FIrefox and in Opera. 3) My conclusion: something doesn't work properly in Quanta. Can everythng boild down to this?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Yeah, if the editor is trying to save in a format like UTF-16 or something that it doesn't have proper support for, you might see things like this (or not see them, as the case may be..)

At least is supposed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
