What are the strange characters? You could be looking at the optional UTF-8 'magic header'.. a short character sequence that marks the file as being UTF-8.

Still does not seem to be working just right. The browser recognises that the pages is UTF8 but it puts some strange characters in the top-left corner of the screen. How can I stop this happening? ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2002 2:38 PM Subject: Re: UTF-8 vs ISO-8859-1 and really screwed up webpages. I think they're supposed to be, but I have found that the META tags sometimes don't seem to work, whereas the JSP directive seems to be more reliable.

Are the HTML meta tags and the JSP tags interchangeable? i.e. are they the same thing?

It is perfectly right. You must take care not to have page directive with contentType attribute in any included pages. If you have only one such an entry per page then everything is alright. I suggest to start with simple pages and then move to sophisticated ones.

It tells me I can't have two "contentType" entries when I put in the JSP tag!!
