Hi Dennis,
Looking at the source for the main webpage through Mozilla, I'm getting
this:
***********
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<!-- header -->
<html>
<head>
<title>PostgreSQL</title>
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="Mon, 06 Jan 1990 00:00:01 GMT">
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta name="Author" content="Dave Page">
<meta name="keyword" content="PostgreSQL, database, dbms, postgres,
postgres95, pgsql, relational, SQL, ODBC, JDBC">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="postgresql.css" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<a name="TOP"></a>
<p> </p>
<center>
***********
That clearly has a line that says:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
Any idea why that's not working for you? On the PC here with Mozilla
1.3b on Win2K it's working fine. It's also working ok for IE 5.5 SP2.
No problems with tweaking this to work, it just a matter of figuring out
what's best.
:-)
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift
