Thank you for your help, Craig. I don't know if you got me completely right.. or maybe I didn't understand.
What I want to do is to transform the regional characters of a String like "ü" into "ü" The reason is, that I don't want to use utf-8, but ISO-8859-1 for my html pages. And if a "ü" appears in the ISO-8859-1 characterset in the browser, it is not displayed correctly in a browser using the english locale. But it is displayed correctly if "ü" is used. (what is the name for this format?) As far as I could learn, java.net.URLEncoder transforms into "application/x-www-form-urlencoded MIME format", used for the URLs. But this format is not for the body of a html page, right? Regards, Bernhard -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Craig R. McClanahan Gesendet: Dienstag, 14.
