It's not something obvious; I wrote an entire article explaining this (but it's in French) at http://www.uzine.net/article1785.html in short if your page uses utf-8, it should advertise it in the server response headers (e.g., in php: header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); ) and/or as a meta http-equiv inside the <head> of your html page: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> This is because for most browsers the default charset for web pages (when they don't advertise which charset they use) is iso-latin. In that case your danish characters (encoded on two bytes, b1, b2) will look as two iso-latin characters ("b1" then "b2", which is displayed on screen like "Ä^@") instead of one two-byte character ("b1b2", displayed as you want it to be). hope this helps -- Fil _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
