I have a website that is working fine, except I cannot get it to print out characters other than plain text. Characters such as ', :, " and others like degrees print with the dreaded black diamond with a ? inside. Anyone has any idea as to how I might overcome this. I want to have my website printing out the above special characters.
I use MySql database to store text which is printed to the screen. This is setup with coliation = Latin1_general_ci, but changing this does not seem to mater. My Layout has the following:- <!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" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" /> I have changed UTF-8 without success The part doing the printing in View-Show is:- <p class="description"> <%= @picture.description %> </p> class description => font-size:110%; line-height:1.5em; width:90%; text-align:center; margin:auto; -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
