Thanks R Reference: http://test5.waltonstreetwebdesign.com/contact.php So there are 3 text inputs there and 1 textarea, I need them to be the same width. The thing that I don't get is that each input has the same CSS class giving it a width. So why aren't my text inputs the same length as the textarea? I'm looking at this on a Mac, it's not the same width in both FF and safari. Thank you for the help! 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? 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...

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 Hi all savvy HTML Experts!
