HTML - Charset Encoding
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 Similar Tutorialsso 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%? What about an American English web site that targets the USA about 80% of the time and every other country in the world about 20% of the time? 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? 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 - <!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. Here 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 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 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 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 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. In 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 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 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;
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? |
