[SLUG] problem with Displaying German characters under mozilla in Linux

2008-06-17 Thread david . lyon

Hi all,

I am having a problem under linux.. with my html... with german characters..

Nothing is wrong with the system, every other german web page displays  
properly.


Problem is the word höchsten in the following page. When it gets  
displayed in the browser it gets shown as höchsten.


I know something is wrong - just not sure what it is.

html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; lang=de xml:lang=de 
head
titleLG GDR-H30N/title
meta http-equiv=content-type content=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

Hi David

The problem is the meta tag sets a wrong encoding for the xhtml documents.
in meta http-equiv=content-type content=text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
change iso-8859-1 to utf8 :

html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; lang=de xml:lang=de 
head
titleLG GDR-H30N/title
meta http-equiv=content-type content=text/html; charset=utf8
/head
body
.

.
/html
