Encoding issue !!

sniv

Hi,

I have created tpl file which contains some meta tag values. These meta tag values may be special characters also.

For that I mentioned <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />in tpl to support special charaters.


Now the problem is , Due to this charset=UTF-8 , it changes IE brower setting to UNICODE (UTF-8) while displying the page in browser.


Where as I want the browser encoding as - western europe ISO encoding. (If browser encoding is UTF-8 then is distirb other things on page)

So i want meta tag values in UTF-8 (to display special character propely) and browser encoding as western europe ISO ( to keep other thing as it is )

So any idea how to implement such thing ....??

To automatically set your browser encoding when the html page is browsed you have to add this line in html page

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO...">

But if you make the browser encoding to western europe ISO then the UTF-8 characters will not be properly displayed.

so better to have the encoding to UTF-8
