Subject: Re: More Publican Pain
I'm using IE7. I believe IE8 is still in beta. Unfortunately, I recently
updated all my IE6's. That is still probably the most prevalent browser out
there and I can't test it. IE7 appeared about the same time as Vista and it
got caught up in the Vista negativity. I haven't seen any evidence of the
IE7 horror stories I heard when it first came out, but they prevented me
from getting rid of IE6 for a very long time. And on those web pages where
I see those kind of stats, I still see a lot of IE6.
I've never seen svg graphics used on the web except on Fedora sites, but it
is just plain wrong for IE to simply barf on that. I would expect to see
the box and go on. Why it totally stops I have no idea.
On the other hand, I have no idea why Publican would put out a 0xc2 after
each section number. This seems like an unnecessary thing to do.
*HOWEVER*, if I select UTF-8 encoding, the page displays properly. The A
circumflex is clearly an IE bug. With encoding set to automatic, IE selects
Western European (at least for a US copy of Windows), when the page clearly
says UTF-8.
Clearly, there are a couple of IE bugs here that we are exploiting. But it
really doesn't change the problem, does it?
