    Forcing the URL encoding type

    Hi All,
    is there any way to force the encoding type used by the browser. In my
    application special characters need to be displayed and for some
    reason if the 'auto-select' is left on in the view->encoding menu then
    these are not displayed correctly. For some reason my page also
    flickers when this option is left on but i have no idea why this is
    happening.

    I have tried using
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
    charset=iso-8859-1">

    in my jsp page but that doesnt seem to have any effect.

    Any help is much appreciated.

    Thanks
    John

      Try setting the Content-Type as an HTTP header instead (and if you
      absolutely have to use the meta tag approach, make sure this is the first
      meta tag and preceeds any other tags, text or comments or in the <head>
      section).
