HTML - Encoding
when a webserver sends response to a request, what kind of default encoding does it use ?
I read following lines in one article. What does it mean by similar content-type ? similar to what ? "For a web page, the original idea was that the web server would return a similar Content-Type http header along with the web page itself -- not in the HTML itself, but as one of the response headers that are sent before the HTML page" thanks Similar TutorialsIn a html file I found, it had & # 8 2 0 6 ; (The above but without whitespace in it.) Does anyone know which character this is for? I am stumped finding the right decoder for this. For example, a string like "farmer's" obviously wiould decode to "farmer's". I can't figure out what this type of encoding is called. I'm trying to find the right decoder for it. (Searching on punctuation symbols doesn't work too well for me.) When I put it between html tags, it shows up with the coding, so my browser isn't decoding it. Can someone steer me in the right direction? Thanks I have been creating a job description page and i copied it from a word document and editted it but for some reason im getting the euro and trademark in their when there is no character encoding for it, i have linked the web page below also the scrollbar doesnt scrolldown www.cleverblobs.co.uk/jobdesc.html Hi, I'm using JavaScript to write out an html form (you can ignore the JS and just look at the html form). I'm trying to build a URL in the form using hidden inputs. Everything works fine, except when the user hits the run button the '%' signs get turned into '%25'... so the URL looks something like: Code: http://sampleformaction.com/query?CMD_1=%2526CMD%253Dname_of_command%2526field_1%253Dvalue_1%2526field_2%253Dvalue_2&CMD_2= .... I've tried changing my percent signs in the value tag to %25, but then I just end up with %252526... Any ideas? Thanks Code: link_html += "<input type='hidden' name='CMD_1' value='%26CMD%3Dname_of_command%26field_1%3Dvalue_1%26field_2%3Dvalue_2' />";
link_html += "<input type='submit' value='Run' />";
link_html += "</form>";
document.getElementById('report_links').innerHTML = link_html;
Aloha! I have created my site with a resolution of 1280 x 800. Now I understand a bit more about resolution. In order to create my site with a lower resolution, do I merely change my computer's resolution by going to the control panel, and then composing my entire site again? What is the best resolution in which to create it? I also have a question about encoding. When one save's the html. document, how does one know which of the options in which to save it? Thank you for your help. hi ! 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 Hi gang! i have had limited exposure to different page encodings.. the two most popular encodings i have seen around a utf-8 iso-8859-1 what's the primary difference between the two? i noticed that Google largly uses utf-8 i tried searching through w3c and on google and i know it's probably me but where could i find a good explaination of the pros and cons of both of these? for example, is it better to use iso-8859-1 when designing a file transfer mechanism and utf-8 for general page language proper translation via various online website translators like Google's http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...ss =1&group=0 Under "Potential Issues", I have no idea what that means, how can I fix it? (Source is shown at link) Hi, This is a strange problem. I have a small personal website written in UTF-8, which I have indicated with the Content-Type tag in the head, as you may verify. Nontheless, Firefox (at least, haven't tried any other browser) misinterprets and renders the page in ISO-8859-1, leading to the misrendered characters under item 5 under "Documents". As Firefox's "page info" dialog tells me, the Content-Type tag is recognized but the encoding is still ISO-8859-1. Viewing the page locally works fine, same with every other server I have tried. Why? Can this sort of setting be overridden by the server? I'm using Amaya to write some really simple HTML. If I insert any characters in the range 128-255 (e.g. the degree symbol, 176, or non-breaking space, 160) then instead of embedding ' ' or '°' into the document it actually puts in the byte sequence 0 194 0 176 (degree symbol) or 0 194 0 160 (non-breaking space). In hex these sequences look like 00 C2 00 B0 or 00 C2 00 A0. So it appears that 194 (xC2) is some kind of escape character. However I can find no documentation anywhere which mentions that this is valid HTML - can anyone point me at some? Mike I am srahasan. I have faced some problem with manually change the encoding of the HTML files to US or Western ASCII. pls any one help me about this matter. thnx in advance. srahsan |
