HTML - Odd Characters Caused By Bad Charset Syntax?
Similar TutorialsHere is my issue: I'm loading an XML that contains special characters (like French characters) and they are not displaying properly. My XML file is encoded in UTF-8. My charset is set to UTF-8 in my HTML document. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.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" /> When I take out the charset completely (don't declare character encoding at all), it displays properly?! (Ack!) I want my HTML to validate properly because I'm attempting to write clean XHTML, but this is leaving me a bit confused. Can anyone explain what is happening? Why does it display correctly when I don't specify a charset? I had found this, but no idea how to fixed it. http://www.milw0rm.org/exploits/1775 Kindly help. Thanks. I'm trying to place a DIV directly below an IFRAME with no space inbetween. Please see this sample page: http://www.esaba.com/space.html When viewed in Firefox, there is an extra space between the IFRAME and the DIV. If I remove the DOCTYPE, it displays correctly. This is for a webpage widget I am developing which writes the IFRAME and DIV into the page through javascript. Because the widget will be placed on many different pages which I don't have control over, it needs to look the same (with no space) regardless of the DOCTYPE or other attributes. Please help me figure out how to remove the extra space. Thanks! Hello, I hired contractors to build a site for me. The site's front page has a small section for text, the developers added some placeholder text in this spot. Now that the site is completed, I changed the text as follows: I downloaded the index.php file from my webhost. I changed it to a txt file, then opened in notepad, found the placeholder text, changed it, saved the file, renamed the file back to php, then uploaded to webhost, replacing old index.php file. When I load the page the following error message appears twice at the top of the window: Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/XXXX/public_html/index.php:1) in /home/XXXX/public_html/index.php on line 2 Does anyone know what this error indicates ? (I'm not a programmer) I did not save the old index.php file because I didn't think such a minor change would cause problems. The contract with my developer has ended and I don't want to start a new one for this. Any help appreciated. so how to use multiple charset in a page i have a part of the page uses windows-1256 and the rest of the page uses utf-8???? how to use the 2 charsets without making confliction between the 2 charsets?? the top the page uses HTML Code: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1256" /> and the rest uses HTML Code: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> What is the best charset to use for an American English website that targets the USA 100%?

I need help with chars encoding on some project in source with encoding "Windows-1251" I have line Code: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1251" /> but when I or someone other visit site encoding is UTF-8 and he can't read Cyrillic chars any help will be good for me I need help understanding the The charset parameter, see example below: Code: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> I checked the W3C pages on the subject, but I am still confused. Dreamweaver inserts by default the example stated above, but looking back on sites I built in the past, apparently it inserted different lines, for instance: Code: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> Can anyone shed light on this? <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO 8859-1"> <title>Insert title here</title> </head> <body> <pre> if( a < b && c > d) //java code example { System.out.println("hdsfdslkf"); } </pre> </body> </html> i have confusion about the above code, so i wrote this html page in eclipse 3.2 j2ee. So, when i first wrote this program it gave me an error about character encoding which then i changed its charset to UTF-8 and then it worked fine. however the real problem is this was my HW problem, finding out what was wrong with the code.And, i thought it depends upon the charset defined in the document itself. So i am really curious i would really appreciate any help. thank you denis. I was wondering if it is required to use the following in XHTML. This: HTML Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Instead of: HTML Code: <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> And... This: HTML Code: <?xml-stylesheet href="style.css" type="text/css"?> Instead of: HTML Code: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /> Also, what charset do you recommend and should I use XHTML 2.0 instead of XHTML 1.0? Thanks! - Jason - I am the owner of http://www.translationhelp.com and I am debating whether to use Unicode on the pages or not. There are over 500 translators in the database (but not yet fully registered as the site is still in development). Each of these translators needs to create at least two "profile" web pages (one in their source language and one in their target language). This means I need to have the ability to allow the translators to enter their profile information in two separate forms when they register in their respective languages so that the form contents once submitted will display properly in the user's browser ("user" here means potential clients looking for a translator). I have heard of some problems with Unicode and browser/computer configuration so I am not sure if that is the best solution. It also seems more complex and therefore more expensive and perhaps more prone to bugs. I am also not sure how to implement Unicode so that the translators can read/type their info into the form in their languages and the pages resulting from the form submission are displayed in Unicode. The other solution is to set the form pages to be displayed automatically using the specific language charset for that page and to display the web pages using the charset of that page's language. The problem is that I have not had the actual site pages translated yet (that is coming soon) and the common elements (menus etc.) are all in English. This will mean a translator's profile page with a language charset of Japanese (for example) will also have menu items in English. The combination of the two languages is troublesome and the only solution I can come up with is to use Unicode OR display these pages without menus using a target "_blank" to open a new browser window and a couple of images (in English) to close the window or whatever. I have been thinking and wondering about this for some time and I could use any help or opinions to get me over the hump of indecision I am stuck at. Hi I'm sending an HTML file as an Email attachment. When I send it the <meta> tag contains "charset=iso-8859-8" - Hebrew(ISO-Visual) but when the recipiant opens it the charset has changed to "charset=iso-8859-8-i" - Hebrew(ISO-Logical) which causes the text to appear left-to-right instead of right-to-left as I sent it. What causes this behaviour and how can I correct it? Thanks for any help David Paddling upstream searching for the source I have a question about this new: HTML Code: <meta charset="UTF-8"> thing, introduced in HTML 5. Why it's not self-closing tag? I don't understand it, I think it should be: HTML Code: <meta charset="UTF-8" /> Can anyone explain it to me? I have a problem with IE6 and 7 not rendering a special character, the double up arrow, "& u A r r ;" <a rel="nofollow" href="#top">⇑</a> content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> I am using the special character as link text to get the user to the top of a very, very long page with a single click. The character renders properly in FF, OP and SA. To my dismay, I just discovered that IE renders it as a box on top of the link underline. Is there any simple way, css, magic, etc., that I can get this character to render properly? The single up arrow renders, but looks anemic, and I don't want to have "Top" appearing at the end of every paragraph. (I don't want the search engines to think I am stuffing the keyword "Top".) Two single up arrows looks strange. I'm afraid to use an image since I could encounter position problems with different browsers. While suggestions for alternative design solutions are welcome, I am really after a technical a way to use the double up arrow in IE. The page: http://www.iaps.com/list-of-internet...ns-199010.html Thanks Hello, I have a web page that is built using components. The footer of the page is a component. When building the page, the footer is added using a glob. In the footer, there is supposed to be a bunch of Korean characters. Currently, they are not displaying properly. When the glob is viewed alone, it is still incorrect. However, if the source is viewed, the Korean characters are correct in the source, but are displaying incorrectly in the page. The charset is already set to UTF-8. What could be the issue here? Hi I am relatively new to HTML and ASP and have been asked to help update intranet and website pages for a company who very suddenly found themselves without a web developer. I took pages that are currently on the website and changed the content to show the new press release. Everything works absolutely fine in various browser, various versions of browsers and operating systems. The one thing that worries me is I did not use reserved characters anywhere, where I noticed the previous web developer did. Should I have used them or is it not needed anymore as browsers have changed? Is it may be needed for software used by the visually impaired? Examples of where she used it: New Zealand - I just used New Zealand “ and ” - where I just used " " Any help would be much appreciated! |
