It is a character encoding issue. I made accents work on my volcanoes pages, but I forget all the details at this point. As I recall character encoding used for the xml and the page itself were both important. Are you setting the character encoding for both your xml and your web page? I think the meta tag in the html (and in the correct place): <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> and the value of encoding in the xml tag: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?> were important, as well as configuring the server to actually serve the content using the correct charset. But looking at those pages, I don't see what I am remembering. I guess the first step would be to try everything with utf-8 encoding, your database, your xml feed, your web page and see if that makes IE happy. http://www.google.com/search?client=gmail&rls=gm&q=character%20encoding -- Larry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
