    encoding

    Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this code?

    Code:
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    Why Still need to remind stupid IE to encode the page with utf-8. Why it still sometime choose SHIFT-JIS?

    There's nothing wrong with it. Check to make sure your server is not already setting the charset ahead of time.

      Because that's IE, my friend. I could go on for days about how terrible IE is and how many hours of pain and suffering it has caused me.

      But I won't, because I presume that the Quick Reply has a character limit (LOL).

      @drhowarddrfine was right: there is nothing wrong with your code. I would bet my bottom button that this is just a weird IE quirk. What version were you testing with?

        well, I have set character set in header. so far its not making any problem anymore.

        Several IE version is being used for testing starting from 6. Japanese people dont use firefox. Maximum people have Windows with IE.
